In their words

1990

I feel like a pioneer

Kathy Whitworth, winning captain · Sports Illustrated (John Garrity)

The short hitter should go first and get in position, and then let the long hitter go for it.

Mickey Walker, losing captain · Sports Illustrated (John Garrity)

We were playing for pride. And sometimes that's more important than money.

Beth Daniel, player · Sports Illustrated (John Garrity)

1992

I think the Americans are in a state of shock. It is almost impossible to appreciate what has happened. We have beaten the best golfers in the world. We outplayed them, totally.

Mickey Walker, winning captain · The Independent

We are much more of a team. We know each other much better and the players have really gelled. The other thing is that we have no fear of playing against the United States.

Mickey Walker, winning captain · The Independent

We were against two of the best players in the world. We knew that if we left the door open they'd step in.

Laura Davies, player · The Independent

1994

I'm so proud of this team. They wanted to win so bad and so did I. I didn't think it would end that quick.

JoAnne Carner, winning captain · The Independent

The United States were really tough this afternoon. We knew we had to play great golf to win and we just didn't.

Mickey Walker, losing captain · The Independent

All of a sudden my match didn't seem important any more. I was just playing for pride and I even messed that up.

Laura Davies, player · The Independent

it is probably the highest honor I could ever have that pertains to golf, but doesn't involve me playing golf.

JoAnne Carner, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I think maybe some people thought that Dalmahoy was a freak result and I think there has been some wonderful individual and team performances from the European players

Mickey Walker, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

1996

We were a little shocked. Our pride was not hurt, because people had played very well against us. But it was not a position we wanted to end up in.

Judy Rankin, winning captain · The Independent

Apart from the opening foursomes, I think the way we played was fantastic and I honestly thought we would go out and win,

Mickey Walker, losing captain · The Independent

I made everything I looked at for three matches, but I could not make a putt on the last day,

Laura Davies, player · The Independent

1998

It came as close as I knew it could and I was -- I was very, frankly, scared to death all day today.

Judy Rankin, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

But I felt our players really did it all the way and we were just a little bit too far behind going into the day.

Pia Nilsson, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I don't think there's anything to compare it to. This is more important than anything. This is unbelievable feeling.

Sherri Steinhauer, player · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

As I said at the beginning of the week I picked match players. I believed in them and I think they've gone out and believed in themselves. They know exactly what they're doing out there.

Dale Reid, winning captain · The Independent (Scott Crockett)

No individual championship can top this. It's the U.S. Open and British Open rolled into one

Laura Davies, player · The Independent (AP, Stephen Wade)

We have only the greatest respect for the rules of the game. And we followed the rules as written. I took the decision out of Kelly's hands.

Pat Bradley, losing captain · The Independent (AP, Stephen Wade)

2002

I am so proud of this team. They are -- they have so much heart, they have so much -- they are so tremendous.

Patty Sheehan, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

But every match I saw today all our girls were putting extremely well, but just for some reason the ball just didn't want to disappear down the hole.

Dale Reid, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

But at least, you know, I have it and I still haven't lost a match in the history of Solheim Cup, so I am glad Dale picked me twice, so I got the chance to be on the team.

Carin Koch, player · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

2003

Just unbelievable. I was just so nervous coming down that last hole. I knew it was kind of down to my game and I was trying to hit the green.

Catriona Matthew, player · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

Absolutely not. It's a fantastic day. It's been a fantastic week. I'm so happy. I just got a big hug from Patty. She said it was a fantastic cup.

Catrin Nilsmark, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

My players tried as hard as they could. Their captain did the best she could. A putt here, a putt there, and things may be a little bit different. I'm so proud of my team.

Patty Sheehan, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

2005

These players played their hearts out. It's awesome. They were ready. They weren't afraid of it.

Nancy Lopez, winning captain · BBC Sport (Lopez calls Cup victory 'a dream')

The Americans played unbelievable golf today. We did fight back but it wasn't quite good enough. There's always one team that plays better and it was them.

Catrin Nilsmark, losing captain · BBC Sport (Nilsmark lauds Europe's fighters)

I do feel a little responsible but I kept fighting to the end

Karen Stupples, player · BBC Sport (Nilsmark lauds Europe's fighters)

2007

I thought we had a lot of talent on our team but that it would be tough to do it over here if you go by history

Betsy King, winning captain · Golf Today (round 3 report, AP copy)

None of us feel like losers. We lost to a better team today.

Laura Davies, player · Golf Today (round 3 report, AP copy)

I think it's totally inappropriate, no matter what. We're all together in this. At the end of the day, it's all for women's golf, and she, if anybody, should know how tough things are.

Helen Alfredsson, losing captain · Golf Today (round 2 report, AP copy)

2009

Well, it's awesome, especially since it was such a hard-fought battle. I mean, Alison had her team ready to play. I mean, we really had to dig deep, and it basically came down to the back nine.

Beth Daniel, winning captain · solheimcup.com (2009 Solheim Cup - Final Day Notes and Interviews, press conference transcript)

It's tough to come over here and win, and to be honest with you, we were huge underdogs to start the week.

Alison Nicholas, losing captain · solheimcup.com (2009 Solheim Cup - Final Day Notes and Interviews); also BBC Sport

This is so important to us. It's about pride. It's not about Money List, it's not about rankings, it's not about any of that. This is about our country and it's about our teammates and about our captains

Morgan Pressel, player · solheimcup.com (2009 Solheim Cup - Final Day Notes and Interviews, press conference transcript)

2011

Well, it's unbelievable. I have no words to describe it. I mean, the team were phenomenal today. Their passion, they never gave up, and it was so close.

Alison Nicholas, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

Well, like you said, they were won and not lost. There was some great golf. Pettersen finishing three birdies to take that match.

Rosie Jones, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

2013

It's just obviously, just an amazing feeling to be sitting here as the captain of this winning team, and I'm just super excited, proud, happy, all the emotions that you can have.

Liselotte Neumann, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

Well, I guess today was pretty much like the week. We had our players fighting it out until the end, but it seemed as though 16, 17 and 18 were not our friends this week.

Meg Mallon, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I'm still shaking,

Caroline Hedwall, player · Associated Press (via ESPN)

2015

From the emotions this morning to the emotions now, my team played so damn good out there. They just never gave up. It was just amazing.

Juli Inkster, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

It's exciting. It came down to there were a few putts that could have gone in or gone the other way a few times today. Very exciting.

Carin Koch, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

At that point of time at the match, and the putt she left, I thought I would still like to see it. If she had that putt to win the cup, I would still like to see it.

Suzann Pettersen, player · PA Sport (via ESPN)

2017

They just bonded. They believed in each other. They played for the person behind them and in front of them. And they played some amazing golf,

Juli Inkster, winning captain · Associated Press (via ESPN)

We were just walking here from the bus, and I think Caroline said it best. She just said, it really doesn't feel like we lost.

Annika Sörenstam, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

Well, I'm a big believer, we don't get what credit we're due. If we play well, the courses are too short. If we don't play well, we're not good enough.

Juli Inkster, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

2019

A fantastic moment. A dream come true. Twelve of these players, they played their hearts out.

Catriona Matthew, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

You know what, I told them afterwards, the sun's going to come up tomorrow. It was great for women's golf. We played great.

Juli Inkster, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

It's perfect closure for my Solheim career and also my professional career. I'm done.

Suzann Pettersen, player · espnW

2021

There's nothing we can do. They all played well. Team Europe played just a little bit better than us, and that's how it became 15-13.

Pat Hurst, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I can't believe I made that putt.

Matilda Castren, player · Associated Press (via ESPN)

Hands down, I think this is the best team Europe has ever had,

Anna Nordqvist, player · Associated Press (via ESPN)

2023

Does it get any better than this? I mean, this is a dream come true. We had a massive challenge ahead of us today. We've created history yet again in the Solheim Cup, and these girls are legends.

Suzann Pettersen, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I don't want to sound like a sore loser, but it was a tie, and I think that's a lot for this team to build off of,

Stacy Lewis, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I hit a really good shot, and I made the putt, and I don't know what I did. Like, I can't remember, to be honest. I just went crazy,

Carlota Ciganda, player · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

2024

Yeah, I honestly think it's the experience of last year and knowing what half a point means. They were on the wrong side of things last year and knew what that felt like.

Stacy Lewis, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

Well, I just think we gave them a good run for their money today. At 2:25 we were still out there having a chance at this remarkable comeback that it would have been,

Suzann Pettersen, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

This week was kind of hard for me. I felt like I wasn't physically 100%, and I almost felt guilty taking that spot from someone else,

Lilia Vu, player · Associated Press (via ESPN)

2026

I am so proud of this team. We had a great week from start to finish.

Anna Nordqvist, winning captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I mean, Europe played well. I think sometimes it's not about -- I don't think we played bad. I think we just didn't make enough putts.

Angela Stanford, losing captain · ASAP Sports (interview transcript)

I think it's been one of the best teams that we've had in the last few years,

Carlota Ciganda, player · Associated Press (via ESPN)
