United States team prepare for the Solheim Cup

Friday, September 18 2015 by SNTV
  • Members of the USA team on Thursday (17 September) looked ahead to the 2015 Solheim Cup which takes place from Friday to Sunday (18-20 September) at St. Leon-Rot in Germany.

    Script: SOUNDBITE (English) Morgan Pressel, USA:

    "I mean there's just as much said in the unspoken, right? We were all there in Colorado during defeat, and many of us in Ireland, as well. And we know what we've got to do. We know we've got to go out there and get it done. I think the girls are ready."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Paula Creamer, USA:

    "Everybody likes to look back and know that you've done well. I've had a lot of great matches. I've hit a lot of the best shots of my life in Solheim Cup, especially under the pressure. But I think playing for your captain, playing for your country -- I mean, everybody knows Juli Inkster is my role model and somebody I've always looked up to since I started playing golf. Nancy Lopez was my first captain. It's so exciting to be on a team with 12 girls, and when you're out in that moment and things aren't going great and you see the board and you look up there and getting a half point is just as big as grinding out a match."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Cristie Kerr, USA:

    "Well, I mean, I played 18 holes on Tuesday, knowing the forecast wasn't going to be that great. And then played nearly all of them yesterday, as well, with the forecast being what it is today. So I think the key is just playing up early in the week and then try to get some rest with the matches coming up. And I think that the most important thing for Team USA will be just keeping our rhythm for these matches, because everybody tends to get amped up. If we can keep rhythm on short game and shots and just no doubt about where they're going to go, we'll be great."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Lexi Thompson, USA:

    "Just overall, that whole experience, the Solheim Cup, representing your country, there's no higher honour than that. I got to play in team events as a junior and amateur, and it was amazing experiences for me. But to play in that Solheim Cup at Colorado Golf Club was a huge honour. I mean, unfortunate loss. But we tried our best, and that's all we can do. But we have a little bit more fire behind us this year to go win it."
