Even after Spain and Sweden finished No. 1 and 2 at the International Crown last summer and dominated the Americans in 2013 on U.S. soil in Colorado, Azahara Munoz, who has proven to be a match play genius over the course of her career, still believes the Europeans have a great deal to prove before September in Germany.

“Everybody says, well, you won the last two, but the Americans are still the better team. We are the underdogs,” Munoz declared Wednesday. “I think anytime you go to Solheim we’re always going to be the underdogs, and we’re just going to give our best and hopefully get that.”

Her logic? Well, that’s rooted in numbers.

“I mean, if you look at the rankings, it’s really obvious they have – I mean I haven’t looked at the rankings but Stacy’s not No. 1 right now but she’s been No. 1 the last two. And they’ve got Lexi Tompon, they’ve got Cristie Kerr, they’ve got Paula reamer, they’ve got Morgan, Brittany Liniome.”

“Didn’t you forget someone?” Asked someone in the room.

“Michelle Wie, sorry!” she declared. “Michelle, which is even higher up than the other ones I said. But if you look at the rankings, they are the team to beat. So, I mean, we are still the underdogs.”24:["solheim-cup"]
