With her experience, everybody on the team’s going to be watching what she does to try to learn from her. I am very happy to have Lexi back."Thompson added: "It means the world to me.

To be able to represent my country, it’s the highest honour that you can possibly have."To be there again this year, especially stateside, it’s a dream come true.

To be able to play alongside my team-mates and under my captains and assistant captains, it’s everything I could ask for."The USA take on holders Europe at Gainesville on 13-15 September.
