Alison Lee Has Never Lost a Solheim Cup

One week before the Solheim Cup, Alison Lee explains how a player who wasn't on Angela Stanford's radar in January played her way onto Team USA by June — after an emergency C-section, a first range session that ended in tears, and a driver that "looked like I hit a marshmallow." She goes back to the week she finished dead last in Dallas and nearly walked away, the swing coach who "brought me back from the dead," the Freddie Couples text thread that flipped a switch, and the broomstick putter she wishes she'd found three years earlier. Kent and Scottie get her on the points system she'd change, why she's never been on a losing U.S. team, what a 2015 rookie learned from Cristie Kerr and Paula Creamer, the WTGL, Golf Saudi's money and what it means for the LET — and Caddy Corner, where the most underrated tour stop stumps her cold. Plus: what she hopes her son thinks when he watches her play, and the retirement plan that kicks in the moment she finally wins.0:00 Cold open — "I got dead last"0:37 Welcome — Solheim Cup week0:50 Alison Lee joins2:14 How she got onto Angela Stanford's radar5:41 The Golf Channel booth with Grant Boone8:36 The points system she'd change15:32 Never on a losing U.S. team17:26 A 2015 rookie, starstruck — now the veteran21:37 The last American mom at a Solheim was 201723:36 The marshmallow driver — coming back after Levi25:35 Winning overseas and what a team room needs30:21 How the LPGA has changed since 201533:17 A rookie class for the ages37:08 The lowest point — dead last in Dallas38:20 Chris Mason and the turnaround39:11 Perspective: UCLA, friends, and her mom41:57 The Freddie Couples text thread44:18 The broomstick49:21 WTGL — what year one has to do52:03 Golf Saudi, LIV and the LET55:24 Caddy Corner58:46 "I hope he thinks I'm a cool mom"60:19 Sign-offLinks:The Edge WebsiteThe Edge YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@golf.theedgeshowSubscribe to The Edge Hosted on Acast.
