ST. LEON-ROT, Germany – American captain Juli Inkster’s bold move paid off with Paula Creamer teaming with Morgan Pressel to take down Europe’s most formidable pairing in the leadoff match in Friday’s start of the Solheim Cup.
Under intense scrutiny as a struggling captain’s pick, Creamer delivered for Inkster, proving herself worthy of the faith Inkster showed in her to lead the way with Pressel. They teamed to defeat Europe’s Suzann Pettersen and Anna Nordqvist, 3 and 2.
“I'm so proud of us,” Creamer said.
