2017 Solheim Cup Team USA Point Rankings
After notching her first LPGA win at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship Danielle Kang has all but assured herself a trip to Iowa and a berth on Team USA for the upcoming Solheim Cup. The San Francisco native, who has been on a roll since April, has piled up 140.5 points during the past month, moving from ninth place to sixth in the Team USA points rankings.
Michelle Wie was the other big points gainer during the month moving into a tie for seventh with Brittany Lang. Lexi Thompson, Stacy Lewis, Gerina Piller and Jessica Korda also added to their points by carding top-20 finishes at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.
