GAINESVILLE, Va. — The Solheim Cup starts Friday on the banks of Lake Manassas at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club about 40 miles west of Washington, D.C., a one-year-later rematch of Stacy Lewis’s U.S. team against Suzann Pettersen's European team after a 14-14 tie in Spain in 2023.
Given that tie, which allowed Europe to retain the Cup because of its win in 2021, the home Americans have adopted the motto of “unfinished business” this week. The U.S. hasn't won since 2017 in Des Moines, so Lewis hopes that attitude plus a good team vibe can end the longest drought for either side in the 34-year history of the matches.
