Can I take them both? I dont know. This is a young team anyway.American veteran Stacy Lewis is intrigued with the rookies in contention to make the team.Angel is fearless, Lewis said. She has the length of Ariya Jutanugarn but hits it higher and straighter.We have some rookies that I think would be great in that environment, like Charley Hull was when she played as a rookie for the Europeans. I dont think picking rookies is a bad thing. They dont know any better.Mostly, Inkster likes all the choices she has, even if it makes it tough calling players with bad news before she makes her picks Sunday.Its really hard this year, Inkster said. Its harder than it was two years ago going to Germany. I probably have eight people for two spots.But I have to say Im in a good position as far as the quality of play that I have to pick from. Im in a really bad position of how many quality golfers that Im going to tell that arent going to make the team.
