PING Junior Solheim Cup

The PING Junior Solheim Cup kicks off today at Aurora Country Club. The PING Junior Solheim Cup follows the same format as The Solheim Cup and features the top 12 U.S. players versus their European counterparts. It is only girls' team event of its kind at the junior level.

The United States won the inaugural event in 2002, while the European side evened the series in Sweden in 2003. The USA regained the PING Junior Solheim Cup in 2005, only for the Europeans to continue the trend of the Cup being won by the team on its home soil by taking victory in Sweden in 2007.
