Champ Kind Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 By Tony Jimenez LONDON (Reuters) - European Solheim Cup player Melissa Reid believes Olympic organizers missed a trick by not opting for a mixed matchplay event when golf returns to the Games in August following a 112-year absence. The 28-year-old Briton says the players would have preferred a different format to the separate men's and women's 72-hole strokeplay competitions scheduled for Rio de Janeiro. "Us players would love to play with the guys and to have something like a mixed matchplay would be amazing and I know that certainly all the players feel that." Reid, a member of the European team narrowly beaten by the United States at the Solheim Cup in Germany last year, is nonetheless excited at the prospect of going for gold in Rio.
