I'm not one to grieve too hard or too long over golf. I'm disappointed, mostly for the girls. They tried their best and they did their best. ... But we got down by so much. There were some big numbers up there.

I think the first match is the most nerve-wracking, and Catriona and Carin are both very cool and calm. I suspected that Nancy [Lopez, the US captain] would put out one of her young ones early and I wanted a pair with lots of experience. They won't get wound up.

If you got behind, it was virtually impossible to catch them. I think the Americans played unbelievable golf.

If you're going to bet on the numbers, I think it will be USA 131/2, Europe 141/2.

The first match is really the most nerve-racking match out of the entire weekend. I wanted them to not have to play the first match.

They really have nothing to lose. No one is going to expect them to win, other than themselves maybe.
