Interesting and Inspirational Quotes -
"We came charging today. (U.S. captain) Nancy (Lopez) gave us inspiration. She gave us so much motivation and drive. We just came out and did it. We did it."
"I don't want to say we feel like we're going to take over for the future or anything like that. The veterans inspired us. They treated us with respect and told us of their past experiences. We took our cue from them."
"I hit a lot of iron shots coming into the green and I missed quite a few putts inside 10 and 15 feet that could have gone in, but all in all it was a very, very satisfying day. The way I see it is that if I did not miss those, then I would not have made the ones I did."
