THE SOLHEIM CUP


September 16, 2007


Morgan Pressel


HALMSTAD, SWEDEN

Q. Morgan. How special is the Solheim cup win against the Europeans?
MORGAN PRESSEL: It's tremendous. I was sitting on the couch last night and Betsy had the pairings in her hand. I just have this feeling, I was like, "I feel like I'm going to be playing Annika." I looked at the list. It said "Annika." I was like, "Wow."
Just -- I was really pumped after playing this morning, and we didn't really -- they got us by a little bit this morning, but I came out this afternoon, played a lot better and made birdies when I needed to.

Q. You played inspired golf. Pressure didn't get to you at all?
MORGAN PRESSEL: I missed a couple shots. I tried to stay patient and just trust my game.

Q. Lovely. Morgan, what do you have to do to win a match like this? It's head-to-head. She's done a few of these. You're relatively inexperienced in Solheim Cup play, but you held tough.
MORGAN PRESSEL: I expected her to win the last hole. My caddie was saying that's why she's No. 1 in the world for a very long time.

Q. Morgan, this appears to be a very satisfying win for you today. How does it feel to put the team in good shape and to be where you are right now?
MORGAN PRESSEL: Well, definitely. I was watching the leaderboard a little bit today, and I saw a red, but coming off 15 I saw the leaderboard and said, "This is a really important point, my point." I thought it was going to be a little more important than it ended up being.

Q. Did you feel like you had control of the match all day?
MORGAN PRESSEL: I got off to a little bit of a rough start. I missed a short little putt on 4. But I was back there well on 5.

Q. Do you have a lot of experience playing match play?
MORGAN PRESSEL: I have quite a bit. Not a ton, but I have a little bit. I think that's helped tremendously.

Q. Satisfying to be a big part of a 1-pointer.
Annika, was there anything that fell short for her?
MORGAN PRESSEL: I'm sure she didn't putt as well as she would like to. I played really well.
