What an honor!

The victorious US Solheim cup team was invited into the White House. The players were excited to meet Barack Obama at the Oval office.


Beth Daniel, who captained them last September, was also among the group.


While in Washington D.C. they visited some of the most famous monuments, including sites like the Pentagon and the 9/11 Memorial. While Commissioner Michael Whan stud by their side from beginning to end, it was Juli Inkster who couldn't make the trip since she was in Hawaii for personal reasons.

The excitement filled every one fo them and so they shared through their Twitter accounts, Paula Creamer assured "what a great trip.....meeting the President of the USA and being in the Oval office. Lots of fun".

Meanwhile, Christina Kim, one of the most cheerful and outgoing players of the LPGA uploaded several pictures and said "meeting the President yesterday was such an amazing experience. I was trulyhonored to experience what few have ever done".

All players wore matching suits to their White House visit.

The hostess…

A few hours ago Lorena Ochoa appeared at the interview room to attend all the media that have been gathering at the Guadalajara Country Club since yesterday.

Lorena Ochoa5 Lorena seeks her fourth victory this year which might lead her to grab the Player of the Year Award.

World #1 came with Angela Stanford, who is the defending champion who talked about her mom’s breast cancer, “she had her last chemo treatment October 30. Surgery is set for December 1. So I think we have some momentum now and she's excited about getting through it. She's doing great”.

Then, Ochoa was questioned about her irregular season and the fact that her responsibilities as hostess might  blemish her game, “ I'm going to enjoy the moment and I'm going to try to play one day at a time and not worry too much about that and just to play my own golf”.

Both players had good rounds in the past, so now it’s time to wait and see if the can contend for the trophy.
