They earn more than we do.I believe you own a share of a few horses. Number two would be the same thing but the European championship. Number three, Liverpool winning the European Cup again but with me in the stands somewhere. Number four would have to be a trip to Australia to watch the Ashes with the Barmy Army. And last, the Lions tour of New Zealand.And which sport other than golf would you have liked to play professionally, if you had had the chance or ability? I think tennis would have been a good choice. How important in your personal and professional priorities is it to you make it 10 in a row at Halmstad in 2007? The Solheim Cup is very important to me and the next one is already in my focus.
I will make sure I have enough points to qualify without needing a captain's pick.You are well known as a fan of numerous sports. As for some advice, she should do what makes her happy and not what everyone around her wants her to do. That will help to keep her happy and interested in doing what is important in any pro sport, which is winning.You are the only golfer to have played in all nine Solheim Cups to date. She needs to be the one for all of us to beat before we even think of the men's tour on a regular basis.Do you think the phenomenal attention given to Michelle Wie could be detrimental to her golf? And if she asked you for one bit of advice about maintaining a long and successful career, what would you tell her? Michelle has had a lot of attention since she was about 12 years old so I think she must be used to it already, so it doesn't take away from performance. Not that long shots don't come in sometimes.Do you envisage a time when women routinely play on the men's tour? Does it matter? I think Michelle [Wie] wants to play on the men's tour a bit, but I don't think it will happen for a while and not many other girls are looking to do that because we have a big hurdle in Annika [Sorenstam]. If you were a bookmaker, what odds would you give on a woman golfer playing in next year's Open? The question of odds would run at about 5,000-1 and I don't think you would get many takers. Is it something you would consider? Or are there better things - and more lucrative options - that could fill your time? As for there being a better thing to do, I can't think of anything I would rather try to do. The ratio of players who made it through qualifying last year to the Open itself was something like 1 in 400.
Apart from how hard the actual qualifying would be, it would also be hard to find the week to do it because of our scheduling But given the chance I think it would be a great experience. I just hope one of us can do it one day, although it will be very hard to achieve. What do you think of the Royal & Ancient's announcement that they have lifted their ban on women playing at the Open, and that any player finishing in the top five at each of the women's majors can enter at the first of the two qualifying stages? I think the R&A have given us a good chance to get into the biggest and best event there is in golf.
