When U.S. captain Angela Stanford first placed the call to Auston Kim, it went to voicemail. A surprised Stanford gave it another try and this time, Team USA's newest rookie got word that she'd clinched her spot for The Netherlands.
"I'm shaking," Kim told Stanford while out playing frisbee in the backyard with big sister August.
Kim, 26, will be the 70th American player to ever compete in the biennial event Sept. 11-13 at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, Netherlands.
She will be joined by 25-year-old Yealimi Noh, who also clinched her spot on the U.S. points list. Noh, who recently contended at the AIG Women's British Open, debuted in the event in 2021 as a captain's pick. She had a 2-1-0 record at Inverness.
That makes five U.S. players who have now secured their spots off the points list:
