St. ANDREWS, Scotland The cutline sharply shaped the American Solheim Cup picture Friday at the Ricoh Womens British Open.While jockeying is still possible, some scenarios are now clear cut.The teams will be finalized on Sunday. The matches are scheduled Aug. 18-20 at Des Moines Golf and Country Club in Iowa.For the Americans, Angela Stanford and Austin Ernst now know they will have to rely on Juli Inksters two captains picks if theyre going to make the team. They both missed the cut and cant qualify on points or through the world rankings.Here is the breakdown of whos in and whos still hoping to get in based on the current U.S. Solheim Cup points list:Eight players will make the team off the U.S. Solheim Cup points list. Plus, two more players will make it off the U.S. world rankings list, the two highest ranked players who arent qualified on points.The top six on the points list have secured their spots:1. Lexi Thompson2. Stacy Lewis3. Gerina Piller4. Cristie Kerr5. Jessica Korda6. Danielle KangThough Korda is in on points, she withdrew from the Womens British Open Thursday with a forearm injury. The severity of that injury could require a replacement, but Kordas team said shes rehabbing with the intent to play.

7. Michelle Wie made the cut Friday, but she could get bumped out of the top eight in points. There are seven players behind her who still have mathematical chances to pass her.Still, at No. 35 in the Rolex world rankings, Wie is a virtual lock to make the team off the world rankings list. If she gets bumped off the points list, she likely shoots to the top of the world rankings list. Plus, given her strong form, shes also a virtual lock as a captains pick.8. Lang is almost as secure as Wie, even if Lang is bumped off the points list. At No. 37 in the world, Lang would likely grab one of those two world ranking spots.9. Brittany Lincicome currently holds the top spot on the U.S. Solheim Cup world ranking list. Shes No. 42 in the Rolex world rankings, but she made the cut at Kingsbarns and could easily bump into the top eight in points. All she needs is a T-18 or better finish to move past Lang.10. Angela Stanford missed the cut. She needs a captains pick to make the team, but she is a veteran of six Solheim Cups. Though she doesnt have a strong Solheim record (4-13-3), Stanford took down Suzann Pettersen in singles in Germany two years ago, a pivotal and symbolic triumph in the historic American comeback that will always define her Solheim Cup resume. Its a victory that ought to continue to resonate with Inkster.11. Austin Ernst missed the cut and requires a captains pick. Ernst just missed out on making the 2015 team. She has three top-10 finishes this year, but none in the last four months.12. Lizette Salas holds the second qualifying spot on the U.S. world rankings list at No. 45 in the Rolex rankings. She made the cut at Kingsbarns and is in contention to win. She can pass Lang on the points list by finishing T-11 or better this weekend. Salas is playing solidly this summer with four finishes of T-15 or better in her last six finishes.13. Marina Alex can make the team on points, but she needs to win the Ricoh Womens British Open. After making the cut at Kingsbarns, she has given herself a chance. Shes No. 60 in the world rankings and has to move ahead of No. 45 Salas to have a shot through the world rankings list.14. Mo Martin can still make the team on points, but she also needs to win Sunday. Dont put it past her. She won the Womens British Open three years ago and excels at links golf. Shes in contention again to win this weekend. Martin is No. 54 in the world rankings list and also needs to move ahead of No. 45 Salas to have a chance off the rankings list. Martins dependable ball striking has to make her a captains consideration.15. Jennifer Song must win the Womens British Open to make the team on points, but she made the cut at Kingsbarns to give herself that chance. Shes No. 76 in the world rankings.16. Alison Lee must win the Womens British Open to make the team on points, but she also made the cut to give herself that chance. Lee was on the American team that won in the historic comeback in Germany. Shes No. 62 in the world rankings. She is the last player to have a chance to make the team on points.20. Paula Creamer needs Inksters good favor, but she was hopeful this week that she can still get it as a captains pick. Creamer is one of the most successful Americans in Solheim history. Her 16.5 points are surpassed only by Inkster and Cristie Kerr. Creamer made the cut at the Womens British Open and will be looking for a big weekend.22. Rookie Angel Yin can't make the team on points, but at No. 59 in the Rolex world rankings she could make it with a push into the top two on the U.S. world rankings list. She is in position to contend for the title at Kingsbarns with a big weekend.23. Morgan Pressel is another Solheim star, a veteran of five Solheim Cup matches, but like Creamer her form has been off this year. Still, Pressel made the cut at Kingsbarns.27. Nelly Korda cant make the team on points or world rankings, and she missed the cut Friday at Kingsbarns, but Inkster hasnt hidden her admiration of Kordas skills, consistency and fiery makeup. Shes in the running for a captains pick.
