Rookie Nelly Korda is definitely in the mix as a potential U.S. Solheim Cup captains pick, while time has just about run out for two American stalwarts trying to make the team.U.S. captain Juli Inkster said in a media conference call Thursday that Kordas consistency has caught her eye.Inkster also said veterans Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel would have to do something special over the final three weeks to get in the mix.Would I like Paula and Morgan on the team? Inkster said. Yes. I know they are passionate, and I know their games, but they just havent shown me anything. I have to at least see something from them.There are just three qualifying events left before the American and European teams are finalized at the conclusion of the Ricoh Womens British Open (Aug. 3-6).Creamer is 20th on the U.S. point list, Pressel is 22nd. The top eight at the end of the Womens British Open will make the team.Creamer tied for seventh at the ShopRite Classic early in June, but she has missed the cut in four of her last five starts.Creamer is 14-8-5 in six Solheim Cups. Only Inkster and Cristie Kerr have won more matches for the Americans in the biennial international team competition. Creamer, 30, has played on every U.S. Solheim Cup team she has been eligible for since joining the LPGA as a rookie in 2005.Pressel, 29, has also made every U.S. Solheim Cup team she has been eligible for since joining the LPGA in 06. She is 10-7-2 in five Solheim Cups but has missed the cut in her last two starts this year, the U.S. Womens Open and the KPMG Womens PGA Championship.Creamer isnt playing the Marathon Classic this week, and she isnt yet qualified for the Ricoh Womens British Open. She is scheduled to play next weeks Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open.Pressel is playing this weeks Marathon Classic and the Ladies Scottish Open. She also isnt yet qualified for the Womens British Open.Korda, 18, is just 31st on the U.S. Solheim Cup points list, but Inkster said Korda is among players she is closely considering as a potential captains pick. She is the younger sister of Jessica Korda, who is fifth on the points list and looks like a lock to make the team.If you look at Nellys scores, she shoots good scores all the time, Inkster said. She never shoots a high score.I like her makeup. I like her fire.U.S. Solheim Cup points1. Lexi Thompson, 6572. Stacy Lewis, 452.53. Gerina Piller, 3794. Cristie Kerr, 3735.
