Quick Quotes


Q. Alongside Suzann. Suzanna, what fight, grit, determination did you see from your players this morning that gives you a lot of confidence heading into this afternoon as session?

SUZANN PETTERSEN: I was super proud. We came out with what we had. I thought it was some fantastic golf played this morning. We were hoping for 3-1. Some of the girls were disappointed they didn't get their point, but they did everything right and I'm immensely proud how they came back out.

We still got a lot to do, but we can have a strong afternoon and be right back in it.

Q. What were the keys decisions for you in terms of selecting the pairings for this afternoon?

SUZANN PETTERSEN: I mean, we just you got to start by one match and take one by one, see how it goes. We need a strong start; can't lie.

But these girls, they're all for it. It's a big challenge, but we love it.

Q. Tough decisions all around. A word about Leona Maguire. Only played once so far this Solheim Cup. How tough are those decisions to leave key players, as she has been in the Solheim, for you out of sessions?

SUZANN PETTERSEN: It's always hard to sit great, great players, but where we sit we have to play the ones that are really playing well this week.

I mean, Leona, she's going to be 100% tomorrow and she's all about the team, so I mean, she's a great teammate. Understands and she's allowed to be disappointed.

At the same time she has to believe in what the team is doing, and she'll going to be out here showing her face.
