I would say that the spirit is still there, if not stronger. You get a little fired up when you see an afternoon like this.Sorenstam was asked, with all her experience, what she can dig down deep to find to offer her players in this situation.

I won tournaments after 72 holes, not after 27, Sorenstam said. You've got to stay in there the whole time.We knew coming in here it was going to be a challenge, and I have fighters on the team. I believe in them. So we're just going to forget about this day. Tomorrow's Saturday. New points. Go out there and grab as many as we can.Sorenstam said Friday afternoons extreme turn of events has caused her to scrape together a new plan, because there are challenges beyond the score.Charley Hull aggravated her injured wrist, something she has battled on and off all year. She hurt it hitting a shot at the seventh hole in the morning.I saw her in the lunch room [before foursomes], Sorenstam said. She was icing her wrist. I said. Youre going out in 20 minutes, are you OK? She goes, Im fine.But Sorenstam will make Hull rest Saturday morning. Plus, shes benching Carlota Ciganda on Saturday morning. Shes one of Sorenstams top players, but Ciganda struggled in both foursomes and fourballs on Friday.That was not a plan, Sorenstam said. But she's not performing. So I told her, we are making some changes. People that are playing well are stepping up.So there's a lot of things happening out there. A lot of juggling.Sorenstam sounded eager to see what kind of fight her team is still ready to give.That's the role of a captain, Sorenstam said. You have to give them the confidence. What they see is what they think I am. And I want to give them all the encouragement and the comfort.
