Sorenstam has 'fair play' in mind ahead of 2017 Solheim Cup (The Associated Press)

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France (AP) -- Golfing great Annika Sorenstam has a clear idea of what she expects from her players at next year's Solheim Cup in the United States.

Although the 10-time Grand Slam winner demonstrated a huge competitive streak during her career, Sorenstam wants to avoid a repeat of the tension in last year's tournament in Germany, when Norwegian Suzann Pettersen infuriated American fans.

''Number one on our list is that it's all about sportsmanship and fair play. The last thing we want is a controversy of any kind,'' Sorenstam told a small group of reporters during this week's Evian Championship.
