The form of folks you wish to be surrounded by appear to be those who go to the Solheim Cup.

Healthful moments on the primary tee
The shuttle state of affairs was sorted out earlier than Day 2 of the Solheim Cup, which meant the primary tee was bumping for the opening tee pictures for each the alternate shot and fourball matches in the present day. Karsten Solheim’s son John acquired the group pumped up when he started throwing merchandise into the stands, and Jessica Alba did the identical factor a number of hours later.
The truth that we’ve had a U.S. President and a star from the critically acclaimed 2011 movie “Spy Youngsters” present up on the primary tee for the afternoon matches the final two days actually has me questioning who will present up on Sunday. A TikTokker? An expert athlete from one other sport? The choices are infinite and I await the reveal with bated breath.
Additionally, it seems Nelly Korda is pretty much as good of a hype girl as she is golfer. This mic’d up video of her on the primary tee from the beginning of the afternoon matches is so, so good.
Alison Lee’s hole-out has Tour gamers speaking
Alison Lee’s hole-out for eagle on No. 2 was unbelievable, though the caddies’ celebrations is likely to be what folks bear in mind most.
Lee was teeing it up alongside Megan Khang, and it seems that the professionals and their loopers made a deal concerning any potential hole-outs. I’m simply shocked it occurred so quick.
Hilarious. A number of PGA Tour gamers had some enjoyable with the second over on Twitter.
