25.03 Solheim Cup:
Lotta Neuman visekaptein
Suzann Pettersen kommer trolig med på Solheim Cup-laget også neste gang. Nå får
hun nok en gang en svenske å forholde seg til. Kaptein Alison Nicholas har valt
sine visekapteiner.
Her er pressemeldingen fra LET:
Nicholas names Neumann and Morley Assistant Captains
European Solheim Cup Captain Alison Nicholas has named Liselotte Neumann from
Sweden and England’s Joanne Morley as her assistant captains for the 2009
matches at Rich Harvest Farms, Sugar Grove, Illinois, from 21-23 August 2009.
With Neumann being based in the U.S. and Morley in Europe, the assistant
captains will offer Nicholas guidance from both sides of the Atlantic in the
lead up to the biennial contest. It is hoped that having two assistant captains,
instead of one as previously, will give Nicholas and the European Team the best
opportunity to register their first victory on American soil.
“I’m thrilled that Lotta and Joanne accepted my invitation to be assistant
captains. Their combined Solheim Cup experience will be invaluable and will
help to complement my strengths,” said Nicholas, who made six Solheim Cup
appearances and was assistant captain to Catrin Nilsmark in 2003 and 2005.
“Lotta is a well respected player, having competed in six Solheim Cups and been
on two winning teams. Joanne is a very good friend and she worked with me
behind the scenes when I was vice captain in 2005. Both assistant captains are
really excited and committed. We are looking forward to working together to
prepare for the 2009 matches.”
Neumann is a six-time member of the European Solheim Cup Team, and played in
every event from 1990-2000. A Life Member of the Ladies European Tour, her 27
worldwide victories include the 1988 US Women’s Open and the 1994 Weetabix
Women’s British Open and she most recently won the 2004 Asahi Ryokuken
International.
“It’s so great to be part of The Solheim Cup again,” said Neumann, who scored
8½ points in the event as a player, with a 6-10-5 record.
“I tried to play my way onto the team over the last few years but wasn’t able
to make it so to be part of the team in this way, I’m absolutely thrilled.”
Morley represented Europe in the 1996 Solheim Cup, when she competed alongside
Nicholas and Neumann. She has competed on both sides of the Atlantic and
registered two tournament victories: at the 1996 and 2000 German Opens.
“I am honoured that Alison asked me and I am obviously thrilled,” said Morley.
“Hopefully we can pull all the right strings and bring The Cup back to Europe.
We are all going to be 100 percent positive, especially with Alison at the helm.
She is one of the most positive people I know.”
John A. Solheim, Chairman and CEO of PING, Inc, added: "With Liselotte and
Joanne, it looks like Alison has assembled a fine group of professionals to
help her captain the 2009 European Solheim Cup team. They will bring a wealth
of experience to the team that will be very valuable."
U.S Solheim Cup Captain Beth Daniel recently named Meg Mallon and Kelly Robbins
as her assistant captains for 2009.
