Live blogging the 2009 Solheim Cup 6: Solheim MVP? My vote is for Christina Kim
Sunday August 23, 2009 | 16:25:00 155 words, 18245 views
This is a tough call, and it’s going to make some folks angry, but I think Christina Kim is the Solheim Cup MVP – that is, if the matches keep going the way they are right now, and she wins her match to secure the critical 14th point. Kim just birdied the par-3 16th with a superb downhill six-footer. She and Tania Elosegui are now dormie. Kim’s tee shot hit a foot or so from the pin, and if it had gone in, I believe her head would have exploded. Not sure what the rules say about that sort of thing. Now, Michelle Wie went unbeaten, 3-0-1, and deserves some thought as MVP. But Kim is pure dynamite, and whether you like her antics or not, there’s no question that she is pumping up the fans and her teammates. And you know what, when you play as well as Kim does, you are allowed to be rowdy. Comments:

...missed it, but Pressel wins her match and the U.S. retains the Cup!

And when you win the Cup, you're allowed to be emotional (Morgan & Beth)... :)

Great live blogging Kiel, though I think Wie was the MVP, not Kim. Kim lost a match (pretty bad) and her singles match ended up not even mattering, other than the fact it was probably good for the other teammates to look up at the board and see red.

And by the way, as far as "antics" are concerned. I don't mind showing emotion, but I don't like when the players (in Ryder Cup or Solheim) raise their arms calling for more noise like their linebackers.

Wie was VERY strong, indeed. But more goes into MVP than just play--and Kim was integral to team cohesion in a way that Wie cannot (yet) be.
What about Gwladys Nocera as an MVP for the losing side? She had 3 wins and a tie just like Wie did.
