As a final kick in the pants, Lopez's choices will guarantee less of her all-so-important experience at the next Solheim Cup. After all, Wie and Pressel will still be rookies to the Cup next time because they are not playing this time. And no matter the captain, those two will be on the team. Top ten in points won't be a problem for either of them.
