Didn’t surprise in the least that they didn’t have the decency to hang around and congratulate the worthy winners. From start to finish, their behaviour was a disgrace. So happy for them all, especially Catriona, who really is such a down to earth lovely woman. She certainly is. I had a nice conversation with her on platform 7 at the Waverley whilst she was waiting on her train home to North Berwick. Told her win it again on American soil and she will be immortal, afterall she had won it on American soil as a player. Naturally she blushed in embarrassment. Thanked me for wishing her all the best. Very down to earth lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 It's a great story. Arguably the greatest UK Sports victory of the year (unless Raducanu wins the US Open). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Next captain has hard job to follow CM. She has rightly said she won't captain again in Andalusia. I can vaguely remember when US used to hammer Europe each time but the tide has turned, just as it did in Ryder cup. Good thing is almost all European players will be around next time as none at veteran stage yet. The Irish girl looks like a star in making and added to those coming through ranks, depth of talent getting stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very down to earth lady. As it's the mainstream BBC who run the SPOTY, she'll be criminally overlooked for the shortlist. Although I think Adam Peaty's achievements make him the current front-runner, CM will not get a sniff as a random cricketer will get the nod or Saka for 'showing strength' after a penalty miss.

If the men don't win the Ryder Cup then I think the Ladies Solheim Cup team will win team of the year. If the men do win the Ryder Cup then I think the award should be shared between both teams.

Leona Maguire was born in County Caven in Ireland and still lives in the town it was named after. I was up around there at the weekend, and the locals are understandably proud of her. She grew up about 3 km from the border, as it happens. I'm not a golfer, but Cavan would be a good spot for a wee golfing holiday. Leona has a twin sister who was also a top-ranked amateur. But she went into sports management because despite her best efforts she couldn't adapt her swing to get the length off the tee needed for the professional game.

Solheim/Ryder teams less likely due to being European, rather than British. Fingers crossed for the Ryder Cup and putting it up another bunch of American supporters.

I saw her being interviewed briefly on TV tonight. She was at a homecoming gig in Cavan town. People were out to see her, and the interviewer was asking her about how she felt. She spent a lot of her answer praising other Irish sportspeople rather than talking about herself. She seems to be a very level-headed and down to earth woman.

Signs look good, read an article yesterday about Stricker saying his secret weapon is being prepared better than the Europeans because he’s getting his team to play Whistling Straits before the tournament. Then at the bottom of the article says he’s not thought of pairings yet, said the same in the live interviews. To me pairings are more important than knowing a course.
