Meg Mallon will captain the United States team at the 2013 Solheim Cup, the LPGA announced on Thursday.
The 2013 Solheim Cup takes place at Colorado Golf Club in Parker, Colo., Aug. 16-18.
Nobody can doubt Mallon's qualifications for the role. She's an 18-time winner on the LPGA Tour, including four major championships, who is very popular with her peers and younger players alike. She's also well-prepared for the role, having served as an assistant captain at the 2009 Solheim Cup, and as the captain for Team USA at the 2011 Junior Solheim Cup.
Mallon also played in eight Solheims, earning the second-most points (16.5) of any American golfer in the competition. Her win-loss record as a player is 13-9-7.
Team Europe has yet to name its captain for 2013.
