  Just days after announcing her final three captain’s picks for the 2026 Solheim Cup, Team USA Captain Angela Stanford returns to Fringe Coverage for an inside look at the toughest part of her captaincy. Angela takes us through the selection of Megan Khang, Rose Zhang and Lindy Duncan, and also provides a behind the scenes look at her pick-making operation — from organizing and prioritizing data, evaluating rookie resumes and balancing everything from course fit and potential pairings to locker-room chemistry and personality. With her 12-player team now complete, Angela also looks ahead to Bernardus and the weeks leading up to the Solheim Cup, including her preparation plan and what she's expecting from the course. And in true Fringe Coverage fashion, we couldn't let Captain Stanford leave without asking her important player questions ("Which player is lighting up the group chat?") and putting her through the Captain's Combine.
