The U.S. women will be seeking revenge when the Solheim Cup tees off at the Colorado Golf Club later this week.
Two years ago, the Americans headed into the final day of the Cup tied 8-8 with Europe but watched their three toughest players -- Stacy Lewis, Paula Creamer and Cristie Kerr -- struggle in the wind and rain en route to a 15-13 loss.
“I remember the feeling waking up Monday morning in Ireland and thinking, 'Man, I’m going to have to listen to the Europeans for two years,''' said Angela Stanford, another team member. “So we hear it and we seem them every week when we play against them, and so I think that our team has used it as motivation.”
That memorable day at Killeen Castle left Creamer and Kerr in tears. Lewis, the reigning Women’s British Open champion, called it a turning point in her career.
