Pettersen: Europe still have hope

European Solheim Cup captain Suzann Pettersen speaking to Sky Sports Golf...

"There is hope, absolutely.

"We have seen miracles before - Medinah, and Germany in 2015. We have given ourselves a chance, and as long as there is hope, these girls are going to go out there and fight.

"10-6 is absolutely doable. We'll see if we can digest what happened, recharge, wake up tomorrow fresh… on any given day these girls can take each other down."

Reid: We've seen miracles happen before!

Team Europe assistant captain Mel Reid...

"Those last two matches were pivotal for us. We feel like we've not had any momentum whatsoever. The Americans have been holing puts and outplaying us, so those last two points were obviously needed.

"It's a big deficit to do but it's happened in Medinah for the Ryder Cup boys and in Germany [in 2015] for the USA Solheim girls. We can do it and we believe we can do it.

"Some of us veterans have been through it; Germany was heartbreaking for some of us and it can happen.

"The girls are fired up, the momentum in our team room has switched. We've always had good team spirit, but those two matches were so important for us.

"We've got to go out strong [tomorrow]. We can't make any mistakes. You never know what can happen. Records are there to be broken and we're ready."
