DURHAM, N.C. – Former Duke University National Player of the Year Celine Boutier was selected Monday as one of four captain picks for the European Solheim Cup squad. The biennial competition will take place Sept. 9-15 in Gleneagles, Scotland versus the United States.
Boutier was selected by European captain Catriona Matthew and joined Bronte Law, Suzann Pettersen and Jodi Ewart-Shadoff as other picks. Other members of the European squad include Carlota Ciganda, Anne Van Dam, Caroline Hedwall, Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, Azahara Munoz, Carline Masson and Anna Nordqvist.
It will mark the sixth straight Solheim Cup that a Blue Devil golfer will compete in the event as former Duke two-time All-America, Brittany Lang, represented the United States in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017.
A 2016 Duke graduate, Boutier has turned in a breakout season, which featured her first LPGA victory at the ISPS Handa Vic Open in February. She currently ranks 20th on the LPGA money list with $669,399 earnings, while notching three other top 10 finishes. Boutier, a member of the 2014 Duke NCAA Championship squad, tied for fifth at the U.S. Women's Open and was sixth recently at the AIG Women's British Open.
The Solheim Cup is contested between two teams of 12 players over three days. It follows the same format as The Ryder Cup, with 28 matches – eight foursomes and eight fourballs over the first two days and 12 singles on the final day.
Europe will look to get back on the winning side, after the United States won both the 2015 and 2017 events.
