TV Interview

Q. Anna, an unbelievable atmosphere down here again on this first tee. Look around, look at the hundreds of people out there. Just a word on this atmosphere and how great it feels right now.

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, I mean, it's just getting better and better. We saw this morning even around the 8, 9, 10, 11, there was a lot of people. So you can't really beat this atmosphere, and I don't think I've ever really experienced anything like this. There's quite a few rows of people right now, so it's going to be a very exciting afternoon.

Q. How pleased were you with the team's performance this morning, three points on the board and to have a two-point lead heading into this afternoon?

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, I'm very proud of the girls. Yeah, you can't really ask for more. The U.S. played unbelievable in the final match, and I know Charley and Lottie played very solid, but you can't really beat that many birdies that they did and it's a very impressive performance. So really proud. It was nice to see Esther and Leona show who they are and bring that out. So the team spirit is high and I think we're all very excited about the afternoon.

Q. Were there any question marks around Charley Hull and Lottie Woad? It's a lot of golf for them to play, and they will play all five sessions, and not quite producing the goods that you want yet.

ANNA NORDQVIST: No. I don't think people understand that these are the best players in the world. I think they play the strongest pairings in each session. They played solid. I think Lottie herself made six birdies yesterday in the afternoon. So they're playing solid and I wouldn't be surprised if we get a little bit of blue on that board this afternoon.

Q. Two players rested today in Lopez and Madsen, your thoughts on that?

ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, I mean, Nanna played all day yesterday, there's quite a few players just playing two matches. It's a long week, and we are going to need everything we got tomorrow, especially with a little bit of rain.
