(AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack) (Phelan M.

The goal, just as it was for 2008 U.S. Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger — who introduced the concept that three-time Solheim Cup captain Juli Inkster adopted in 2015 — was to divide the group into compatible four-player pods that would spend the week eating, practicing, playing — and hopefully winning — together. Yet if that's all it took to win the Solheim Cup, the Americans would have dominated the biennial competition since its inception in 1990.
