NORMAN, Okla. – Big Ten Golfer of the Year Irene Kim has been named to the United States team for the 2021 Arnold Palmer Cup, set for June 11-13 at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois, the site of Northwestern's 2017 NCAA stroke play championship.
Palmer Cup competition is nothing new for the Wildcats as David Nyfjäll (International) and Stephanie Lau (United States) both competed in the 2019 event at Alotian Golf Club in Roland, Arkansas. Wildcats head men's golf coach David Inglish helmed Team Europe at the 20th anniversary Palmer Cup at Atlanta Athletic Club in 2017, becoming the first person to both play and coach in the prestigious event. He represented Great Britain & Ireland in 2001 and was a member of the first European team, winners of the 2003 matches. He also served as an assistant coach in the matches in 2011 and 2012, helping the squad make a huge final day comeback to claim the Cup.
The Arnold Palmer Cup Teams for both the International and United States were announced on Golf Channel's Golf Today. A total of 36 players were named, consisting of nine men and nine women per side. For 2021 only, all selections shall be committee picks, with the exception of the four coaches' picks (one USA man, one USA woman, one International man, one International woman). Longtime Arnold Palmer partner Rolex is continuing its more than 50-year relationship through its support of the matches which will be hosted by Rich Harvest Farms on June 11-13, 2021.
In addition to Kim, the United States team is led by a group of returners from the 2020 Palmer Cup in Julia Johnson (Ole Miss), Gina Kim (Duke), Emilia Migliaccio (Wake Forest), and Latanna Stone (LSU). Coaches pick Migliaccio will become the first American to play in four Palmer Cups. They will be joined by Ricky Castillo (Florida), Pierceson Coody (Texas), Allisen Corpuz (Southern California), Rachel Kuehn (Wake Forest), Brooke Matthews (Arkansas), and Trent Phillips (Georgia) who were all selected on March 3.
Newcomers to the American side include Sam Bennett (Texas A&M), Jacob Bridgeman (Clemson), Nick Gabrelcik (North Florida), Ryan Hall (South Carolina), Hanna Harrison (Dallas Baptist), Lauren Hartlage (Louisville), Dylan Menante (Pepperdine), William Moll (Vanderbilt), Trevor Norby (Oklahoma Christian), Brad Reeves (Arizona), Erica Shepherd (Duke), Benjamin Shipp (NC State), and Kate Smith (Nebraska).
The International team is represented by 14 countries, including seven returners from last year's victorious team in Puwit Anupansuebsai (San Diego State/Thailand), Alex Fitzpatrick (Wake Forest/England), Yuxin Lin (Florida/China), Ingrid Lindblad (LSU/Sweden), David Puig (Arizona State/Spain), Paulne Roussin-Bouchard (South Carolina/France), and Emma Spitz (UCLA/Austria). Agathe Laisne (Texas/France) also brings past Palmer Cup experience as she was part of the winning International side at The Alotian Club in 2019.
They will be joined by a group of newcomers that includes Eugenio Chacarra (Oklahoma State/Spain), Adrien Dumont de Chassart (Illinois/Belgium), Isabella Fierro (Oklahoma State/Mexico), Karen Fredgaard (Houston/Sweden), Allan Hill (Maynooth/Ireland), Bo Jin (Oklahoma State/China), Pontus Nyholm (Campbell/Sweden), Virunpat Olankitkunchai (Maryland/Thailand), Joseph Pagdin (Florida/England), Ana Pelaez Trivino (South Carolina/Spain), Julian Perico (Arkansas/Spain), Emily Price (Kent State/England), Hugo Townsend (Boise State/Sweden), Beatrice Wallin (Florida State/Sweden), and Lauren Walsh (Wake Forest/Ireland).
