Quick Quotes


Q. Another classic singles performance from yourself. How would you assess the match?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, I felt like I played great golf today. I feel like I've been playing really great golf all week in practice, and it was a bitter pill to swallow to be sat out for as many sessions as I was, but I thought I got a point to prove today, and I love the Solheim Cup, I love match play, and I really wanted to deliver a point for the team today, and nice to do that.

Q. Big story coming in today was that you hadn't played more sessions. What did Suzann give as a reason for behind that?

LEONA MAGUIRE: She didn't give much reason, to be honest. The feeling I got was that I was a little bit too short and didn't make enough birdies, but I think proved today there's more than one way to skin a cat, and I think I made plenty of birdies today.

Captain's decision. I'm a team player, and all I could do today was come out and win my point, and that's what I did.

Q. Coming out today was there extra fuel in the fire for yourself or was it just classic get a point on the board?

LEONA MAGUIRE: Yeah, it's Solheim Cup. I don't need any extra motivation to go out and try to win my point, but yeah, there probably was a little bit extra there, not going to lie.

But ultimately it's what's best for the team this week, and I would have loved the opportunity to try and deliver more points for the team, but I did what I could today.
