USA’s captain Angela Stanford: “It was huge. That absolutely turned our tide. I thought if we get out of here at 7-9 we still have chance. But that turned the tide.”

On whether she has witnessed anything like that before on the 18th hole: “No, not back-to-back like that. That was pretty special.

“I don’t think those players know what they just did. Kupcho has had a tough couple of days, and today they were down, but she is a fighter.

“I have said that all along. Was that pretty special? 93 feet? Yes. She just doesn’t give up and she is a fighter. Now her team has seen it in person, it is awesome.”

On her plan for tomorrow: “I mean I had a couple of different versions that I was looking at. We are going to be somewhere in the middle of that.”
