Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle.
Angela StanfordThen it started to And then 2015 we go to we go to Germany. And we have Julie as the captain and we haven't won um since it was 2009, the last time we won. Go to Germany, and you know, we're down. Like we're we're just getting killed again. And you know, when when the episode happens with Suzanne and you know, I think that kind of fired everybody up. Um I think it helped that it was Suzanne. Uh she's kind of a lightning rod anyway, so I don't know. We just I just went out there and you know, it it was the most magical singles day of of any Ryder Cup Solheim Cup I can I can remember. Now 1999, I understand that Ryder Cup was that probably takes the cake, but the Sunday in Germany in 2015 is pretty good.
Mike GonzalezYeah, well we had a chance to talk to uh uh probably over half of that 1999 team about that experience with uh Ben Crenshaw as the captain of Brookline. But you know, you guys were down by four, you win eight of twelve matches on Sunday, tied one, um to win probably the closest match to date, right? Yeah.
Angela StanfordOh yeah, for sure. Uh and I have chills when you were talking about 1999. I I just got chills. So it I you know to be a part of those things that again you have your country's colors on and and you're representing more than yourself. And for for all of us to come together on that Sunday and just put the pedal down and go, it it's unlike any experience. And people say the major win or a Solheim Cup win, they're way different things. And I I love my major win, but that win in 2015, it just you know, growing up playing team sports and all that just takes the cake.

Intro MusicSo long, everybody whack down the fairway. It went smack down the fairway. When it started to slice, just smitch offline. It headed for two, but it bounced off nine. My caddy says as long as you're still in the state, you're okay.
