U.S. Solheim Cup captain Juli Inkster knows how to have fun, but she isn’t a fan of some of the theatrics that have become a part of the biennial international competition.
In Colorado two years ago, Europe’s Suzann Pettersen made fun of the Americans’ affinity for painting their nails and faces in patriotic colors. She tweeted out an amusing photo of the Europeans sitting around together in various poses illustrating boredom.
“Waiting on Americans to get done taking pictures of their nail polish,” Pettersen tweeted with the photo.
That seemed to inspire the Americans to wave their painted nails in front of their faces as celebratory gestures during the week, though the Americans would never acknowledge it was a reaction to Pettersen’s tweet.
