Charley Hull Leads Europe in Solheim Cup

Team Europe aims to make history by winning their fourth consecutive Solheim Cup, with captain Suzann Pettersen expressing confidence in her team's unity and ability. Charley Hull, who has been a significant player for Europe since her debut in 2013, will face world No. 1 Nelly Korda in the opening match. Hull, known for her smoking habit to manage ADHD, has garnered attention for her unique on-course behavior, including a viral video of her lighting a cigarette with a fan's lighter. Despite her controversial habit, Hull's performance has been strong this season, with multiple top-10 finishes and a solid presence in major tournaments. The competition will be intense, with 28 points up for grabs over three days, and Europe will retain the cup in case of a tie. The event is set to take place at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia, where the US team, led by captain Stacy Lewis, hopes to leverage home advantage to end Europe's dominance.
