Betsy King has been retiring for 25 years. It's funny when golfers say that. When you start thinking about what else you can do, you realize there's nothing better than what we do. |
Carolyn told us we can all form whatever opinion you want for the moment. But this girl is going to be good for you. |
I definitely have a role to fill; I know what I give to the team. I hope I bring experience and leadership. I hope I help the [younger players] enjoy it because they need to enjoy it. It's a lot of pressure, a lot of attention, so maybe I can help with that. |
I don't even look at it as a proper score. |
I like seeing all those birdies. I hope we've got some left for this week. |
I think this is the best thing Nancy's done, getting us out here to practice alternate shot. We've learned a lot of things today that ordinarily we wouldn't learn until early in tournament week. |

I'm going to take the saddle and spurs off, and let Rosie have a rest. |
I'm so proud. This European team was playing great golf and we had to play exceptional to beat them. What a match. What a great feeling this is. |
I've always had a great time and this one is no different. When you are playing for your country and come together for the Solheim, it is a tremendous bonding experience. |
It turns out I've had this for a very long time, |
It's become a business now. It's a money-making machine out there. I think you have to take advantage of your opportunities and promote yourself. I think they're doing a wonderful job, the younger players. |
It's been a frustrating year. Certainly the work and the effort have been there but I'm just not putting four solid rounds together. It's probably the longest I've ever gone in my career where I have not at least had a couple of successful tournaments. |
Last week, I played with Kate Golden for the first time in a long time. When we finished, she said, 'Can I say something?' I said, 'Kate, fire away. Everyone else has.' And she mentioned something about my putting that made sense. The next day, I shot 66. |
My first Solheim was when we lost at Dalmahoy (in Scotland) in 1992, |
