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.
