We have so much experience in the team and it’s great to have our rookies Maja and Linn representing Europe for the first time. We have never had such a strong group of players in terms of world ranking. The European players have been playing well this year and putting in strong performances across the board.”
Europe has won the last two renewals of the Solheim Cup and will be seeking an unprecedented third straight win in the matches for the first time for a European team since the matches began in 1990.
