I'm just leaving the Netherlands and Bernardus Golf, where we had team practice the last two days. With two qualifying tournaments left and still a lot on the line, I brought 11 girls to the Solheim Cup venue this week to play the course and hang out together.

I'm excited to see a lot of the hard work and planning fall into place and now the Solheim Cup is only two months away, you can tell everyone is getting a little more serious about it - both the excitement and anticipation is building.

I was joined by my vice‑captain Anne van Dam and team helper Becky Brewerton. The European selection is made of the top two points and top six world rankings plus four captain’s picks. Lottie Woad (world No 5), Maja Stark (world 24) are already in line, with Helen Briem and Agathe Laisne also close.

The team will be finalized on Monday, August 3, with my four captain’s picks announced in the Sky Sports studio in London that day. The remaining qualification events are the ISPS Handa Women’s Scottish Open and the AIG Women’s Open, where points can still be earned.
