Once again, both teams looked sleek and tailored -- bravo to Ashworth (the Americans' apparel provider) and Abacus (the Euros') for that -- but this was Sunday at the Solheim. Weren't you supposed to save the best for last?
Let's take a closer look:
Abacus had succeeded in creating a high level of buzz about the Europeans' "secret" Sunday outfit; all week, no one knew what it was going to look like, just that it was going to be a spectacular surprise. Well, it wasn't. It was a blue shirt (blue for obvious reasons, which I'm fine with) paired with white bottoms (as on Diana Luna, above). If I'm not mistaken, they were the same exact white bottoms the team wore Saturday. The back of the shirt was covered in white, blue and yellow stars, but that certainly didn't make it revolutionary. Again, a fine golf outfit but I expected more. From the front, this get-up is nothing more exciting than what my mom wears to play golf.
The Americans' red-shirt-white-bottom look (on Paula Creamer, above) didn't exactly cause anybody's pulse to quicken either. The faint check pattern on the skirt has been a recurring detail all week, and Sunday it crept into the hat as well, but that made it too matchy-matchy, in my opinion. And oh, those face tattoos and hair ribbons... Are they really necessary?
Once again, there is nothing glaringly wrong with this outfit, it just doesn't have anything special. And for Sunday singles, we wanted special.
I'll call the singles uniforms a halve.
Score: US 1.5 - Europe 1.5
