WILLIAMSBURG, Va. There are two leaderboards at the Kingsmill Championship this week.Theres the tournament leaderboard.And theres the one you cant see with the naked eye. Theres the Solheim Cup leaderboard.Austin Ernst is focused on the first, knowing its the best way to move up the latter.Obviously, the Solheim Cup is in the back of my mind, because I really want to make that team, but stressing over it isnt going to do anything, Ernst said. When Im on the course, it doesnt cross my mind. If I go win tournaments, go play well, it will take care of itself. Solid golf will take care of all that.Ernst, 25, played some solid golf Friday in a continuing bid to make her first American team. She posted a 3-under-par 68 to move among the top 10 on the leaderboard at the time she signed her scorecard. The top 20 Americans at tournaments end earn Solheim Cup points.Ernst is seventh on the American Solheim Cup points list. The top eight at the conclusion of the Ricoh Womens British Open on Aug. 6 will qualify for the team. So will the two highest-ranked Americans in the world rankings who arent already qualified.Ernst is among players looking to give American captain Juli Inkster some fresh new faces. Ernst made a hard charge to make the team two years ago but finished 13th in points. Inkster went with Brittany Lang and Paula Creamer as her captains picks.I wasnt top 12 in points, and I didnt make the team, Ernst said. I dont fault Juli at all for not picking me. But it definitely gave me a little bit more motivation.Ernst, who won the Portland Classic in 2014, has three top-10 finishes this year, including a tie for second at the Kia Classic.This year, how my games been going, I feel like Im playing the best I have, Ernst said. Im trying to make it on my own this year.If qualifying ended today, Ernst and Mo Martin would make the American team for the first time. Three big-name veteran Americans sit on the outside of qualifying. Michelle Wie is 10th in points, Paula Creamer is 21st and Morgan Pressel is 22nd.U.S. Solheim Cup points1. Lexi Thompson, 4922.
