The ninth hole, she said, 'Please, captain, please put me out first tomorrow. I looked at my schedule - I had put her first, of course. I'm trying to be nice to her.

I think they're definitely a great foursome, but I didn't want to play them today because of the pressure today. I think they're ready to go tomorrow.

She's more of a team member now than she maybe has been. In the past, she would take her own car, and not go on the bus. I don't think she would do that now. I think she realized the one advantage we might have over the Americans is the fact we are very much a team, and we have lots of fun.

I've just seen how she's playing now. And it looks really good. I would say she's strong as ever.

They have a lot more pressure on them because they've never lost on home soil.

Its been a very, very hard decision. There are quite a few players in the States who have played very well. In the end we chose the 2004 British Open Champion.
