Ally Ewing became the third U.S. player to clinch a sport on Pat Hurst’s team with her final-round 63 at last week’s Trust Golf Scottish Open. Ewing joins Nelly Korda and Danielle Kang as players who have mathematically qualified.
Brittany Altomare, now eighth on the points list, must finish in the top 10 at Carnoustie to have a chance at jumping into the top seven. Megan Khang currently holds the seventh spot. Jennifer Kupcho, who is currently in off of the Rolex Rankings, must finish sixth or better this week to move into the top seven while assistant captain Angela Stanford must finish in the top two.
Mina Harigae, Stacy Lewis, Yealimi Noh, Amy Olson, Lizette Salas, Angel Yin, Marina Alex, Ryann O’Toole and Lauren Stephenson must win to earn a spot.
There are four American players ranked within six spots of each other. The top two players in the Rolex Rankings not already qualified on points automatically make the team. That bunched list includes: Salas (25), Kupcho (27), Noh (29) and Olson (31).
