Danielle Kang’s Solheim Cup week off to a tough start after her clubs never made it to Spain

There’s never a good time for luggage delays, but the Solheim Cup ranks up there among the worst. Danielle Kang, who struggled with this same issue coming home from the Amundi Evian Championship last month, took to twitter on Monday evening to beg Transavia, a low-cost Dutch airline, for assistance in getting her golf bag on a flight to Malaga.

Team USA arrived in the south of Spain on Sunday and started practicing at Finca Corestin on Monday.

U.S. captain Stacy Lewis also took to twitter asking the airline for help, tweeting, “Would love some help locating a set of golf clubs … kind of a big tournament going on this week!!”

Kang, one of the most experienced players on Team USA, makes her fourth appearance in the Solheim Cup this week. She carries an overall record of 5-7-0.

The competition gets underway this Friday. Europe has won the past two Cups.
