US captain Stacy Lewis was quick to label the Europeans as favorites, while Europe captain Suzann Pettersen lauded what she called “the strongest” European team she’s ever been a part of. The US comes with five rookies in a squad whose age average is 25, while there are three rookies in the European team that has an average age of 29.
“They have won the last two, we’re on their soil, they have a great team that has a ton, a ton of experience in this event,” Lewis said. “So you look at history, it doesn’t bode well for us. But I love our chances. I love these rookies. I think they’re going to have a great week and hopefully surprise a lot of people.”
Carlota Ciganda, the only Spaniard playing this weekend, said: “I do think obviously on paper, on the rankings, we have I think the strongest team ever. I mean, the top players, we have I think eight main players in the top 15 in the world, so that’s amazing.”
