Q. You win again. This time in foursomes. You got off to a really good start. How important were those first couple of holes for you?

MIMI RHODES: Yeah, I mean, definitely. Anna has always been telling us about the first few holes to try and get up, and it's a high percentage for us to win the match. We made sure that we were playing sensible and making sure we were hitting the ball on the green and giving yourselves putts, and that's what happened, and luckily she was rolling 'em in at the start. So, yeah, it was just a great day overall and we played smart out there.

Q. How much were you feeling it with the putter and your game in general right from the start?

NASTASIA NADAUD: I was just saying after yesterday's win, we felt probably both very comfortable getting into this morning. I have to say we didn't really expect to play this morning foursomes. Like, it was a great surprise yesterday. But, yeah, as Mimi said, we played very sensible and had loads of fairways and greens and gave ourselves opportunities. Yeah, it was a pretty good morning.

Q. I think it was somewhat of a surprise yesterday when you were paired together, but we said Nordqvist obviously saw something in the both of you. When did she tell you that you guys were going to play together here at the Solheim Cup?

NASTASIA NADAUD: Well, we knew quite late, I have to say (laughing). Like, we're good friends outside the golf course anyway, knew each other from LPGA this year, so we knew we might play together at some point, but we didn't know we would have played, like, two matches in a row and get two wins in a row, so that's cool.

Q. We talked about it in the commentary that you're a player that wants the ball, you want to be in those big moments that's what she saw from you when she was captaining you at the Curtis Cup. Is that the case, how much do you enjoy a moment like this here on 15 when you needed to make that to win?

MIMI RHODES: I mean, yeah, I can't lie, I do enjoy them. But I was just trying to stay focused there and not think ahead. I've thought ahead in other moments and it hasn't worked out, so I just made sure that I was breathing still and, yeah, I just knew that either way we were going to win the match. So, yeah, I just tried to stay calm and putt the ball on the line and hoped it went in and it did.
