    Sunday was interesting for longer than it should have been. Basically the U.S. kicked ass the first day and then held on for dear life over the weekend.

    I'm not a fan of Lexi and she's lucky that her 1-3 record didn't matter in the end. So many horses on the U.S. side and maybe the pendulum will swing back this way for a while.

    Lexi was taking some flat out beaver pelts off those fairways.

    Ally Ewing is a fine player, but man, she's had a rough go of it at the Solheim Cup. 0-4 this year, 3-12-1 overall.

    Lewis' explanation was that she wanted to give Ewing and Kupcho another shot together in foursomes. It was probably her only misstep of the weekend, as far as captain's choices go.

    They played well together at the Dow partners event, that was the reasoning. (Not saying I agree, just reporting what I heard.)

    PGA Tour’s Saudi Deal Drags On With Players Arguing Over Pay

    Some PGA Tour players reportedly want LIV players to give their LIV money back before returning to the Tour. Now that's effing rich, no pun intended. If you leave my shop for big money at a shiny new journalism startup that crashes (hey that never happens), then you wanna come back to my shop, I have no right to demand you surrender that startup money first. Infact you should punch me in the nose if I even ask.

    I know touring pros are entitled people, and most don't pay much attention to the higher finance of their own business (for reasonable cause, just playing well enough to make money is hard enough), but are they aware that LIV holds the whip hand in this negotiation, to wit, unlimited funds (by golf standards)? This is gonna be a merger, not a surrender ceremony, and one rule about mergers is, none of the parties lose money in the deal. If they do, there's no deal.
