5 worst performers at the 2024 Solheim Cup ft. Lexi Thompson

The 2024 Solheim Cup saw an exciting showdown between Europe and the United States, with the US finally clinching the title on home soil at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia. While the competition was fierce, not every player had their best performance on the course. Among the standout players like Rose Zhang, who led the US with four wins and no losses, there were also a few golfers who struggled throughout the tournament.

Despite their efforts, both teams had individuals who failed to make an impact, contributing to some unexpected challenges for their squads.

One of the most notable names on the list of underperformers was Lexi Thompson, a captain’s pick who had been out of form prior to the tournament. Thompson, along with Ally Ewing and Linn Grant, had disappointing outings with multiple losses. Ewing, despite automatically qualifying, was unable to secure a single win.

Meanwhile, Europe’s Linn Grant, Carlota Ciganda, and Albane Valenzuela also had lackluster performances, contributing to their team’s loss. Despite these struggles, the Solheim Cup remains a high-stakes and unpredictable event where any player, regardless of reputation, can have an off day.
