U.S. Solheim Cup captain Rosie Jones surprised the golf world Sunday by using her wildcard picks on Ryann O'Toole and Vicky Hurst. Even Jones called the selection of O'Toole "a very wild pick," but was impressed by her high finishes at both the U.S. Women's Open and this past week's State Farm LPGA Classic.
Some view Jones' picks as a gutsy attempt to inject youth and energy into the U.S. team with Hurst (21 years old) and O'Toole (24 years old). Others feel the picks were unwanted gambles. What do you think?
