GLENEAGLES, Scotland – Morgan Pressel and Marina Alex showed why U.S. captain Juli Inkster sent them out as her leadoff team on both Friday and Saturday mornings at the Solheim Cup.
They are her new bulldogs, the kind of playing partners who refuse to let go of any chance to win a point or even half-point.
After falling 4 down through six holes in foursomes on Saturday, Pressel and Alex rallied to defeat Europe’s Anne van Dam and Anna Nordqvist, 2 up.
The first tee introduction was a bit comical, with Nordqvist and van Dam, who are both 6 feet tall, towering over the dimunitive Pressel and Alex while lining up together for a camera shot on the first tee.
