Were the Stars and Stripes flying high this weekend or was it whatever that European one is with the blue and then the circle of stars round it?: Stars and Stripes I'm afraid, despite leading by a point after the delayed fourballs, Europe were beaten 16-12 after the USA won six of the singles matches.
Heroine?:  No thanks, I'm trying to cut down...
Who was the heroine for USA?: Oh. Ignore what I just said. Anyway, Paula Creamer sank a tap-in on the 15th to beat Maria Hjorth and seal the 14 points needed for the USA to retain the cup. Nicole Castrale dropped an eight-footer moments later to clinch the outright win.
And who was the villain?:  It would be extremely harsh to call her a villain, but when Becky Brewerton failed to take relief when in trouble on the 18th  and she then lost out to Sherri Steinhauer, it was definitely a pivotal moment. Perhaps the most villainous thing over the weekend were Dottie Pepper's remarks about the American team.
Go on...:  In a truly Big Ron-esque moment, believing her mic to be off, the ex Solheim competitor and now commentator described Diaz and Steinhauer as “choking, freaking, dogs.”
Ooh catty.: No, dogs.
I meant...oh nevermind.: I never do...
