Solheim Cup captains Carin Koch and Juli Inkster spoke on Tuesday (September 15) ahead of the 2015 event at St Leon-Rot in Germany which starts on Friday.

SOUNDBITE (English) Juli Inkster, US captain:

"It's amazing how the time has flown by. You know, you feel like you've been preparing for it for a year and a half and then we had the kick-off a year ago but it still seems like so long away. But here we are, my team is very anxious to get out on the golf course and get going. I know I'm anxious to get going, I wish Friday would come quicker. But it's been a great journey for me, I've really enjoyed all aspects of it (the captaincy). You know, I've learned a lot about myself and the players and it's been very, very rewarding so far."

SOUNDBITE (English) Carin Koch, Europe captain

"Well, you know, it's going to be a challenge, you know, we have two good teams. I'm sure Juli's team is going to be coming out strong so we'll just take it day-by-day, match-by-match and really just try to play the golf course as well as we can."
