Captain bullish on hosts’ chances of winning third successive transatlantic joust for the first time but US are keen to spoil party
experiences suggest her captaincy is unlikely to prove dull. At Finca Cortesin, Pettersen leads a European side who are seeking to create history by winning the transatlantic joust three times in a row for the first time. The Norwegian exudes a level of confidence that will come back to bite her should those in stars and stripes turn tables. Interestingly, this bullish approach from the hosts is largely fuelled by the success of their players on the United States-based LPGA Tour.
“I don’t really have to tell the players what we’re up for,” Europe’s captain added. “I think the players are really on it. I think it’s always great to have a possible dream to chase. That’s great. But there is so much golf to be played from where we sit here today to the end of Sunday that this is not something that I’m pushing on the players at all. We’ll see how every session goes and we’ll try and adjust from there.” Indeed, fine margins tend to determine Solheim Cup outcomes.
