Charley Hull expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of another Solheim Cup duel with Nelly Korda, while the American star brushed aside any notion of an "intimidation factor" for Team Europe. Hull is set to make her eighth straight Solheim Cup appearance, representing Europe as they aim to recapture the trophy at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands.

The competition will be broadcast live on Sky Sports after Europe fell short on American soil two years ago. The 30‑year‑old Englishwoman was the top point‑earner for Europe in the 2024 loss, notably beating Korda 6&4 in the Sunday singles.

Hull says she would welcome a rematch against the world No.1 if team captain Anna Nordqvist decides to pair them in the upcoming singles sessions, as Europe pushes for a home‑soil victory. "Playing Nelly Korda that day was fantastic – it was a lot of fun," Hull told reporters before the tournament began. "I came out and performed well.

Every dog has its day, and that was mine, but she’s had an incredible season so far. If it comes down to singles, it would be a great match.

I have a lot of respect for Nelly – she’s the top player in the world, a superb golfer, and anything can happen in match play." Hull and fellow veteran Carlota Ciganda bring the most Solheim Cup experience to the field, each having competed in every edition since 2013. Despite her veteran status, Hull insists she does not feel additional pressure. "I see my role simply as a player," she said.

"I stick to my routine, keep things as normal as possible, and let the captains give advice when needed. Younger teammates can come to me for guidance, but ultimately I just focus on hitting the ball and playing my game." Korda, making her fifth consecutive Solheim Cup appearance, arrives in the Netherlands as the dominant force in women’s golf.

The 28‑year‑old American has already claimed four LPGA victories this season, including the first two majors, and boasts one of the highest winning percentages in Solheim Cup history. She has formed an unbeaten foursomes partnership with Allisen Corpuz in the last two editions, and teammate Andrea Lee hopes Korda’s presence will give Team USA a crucial edge. "We all respect her a lot and look up to her," Lee explained.

"She has an amazing game and is the world No.1, so it’s great to have her on our side. It does add a bit of an intimidation factor for Europe, giving us a psychological boost." Korda, however, downplays any psychological warfare. "Honestly, I don’t think about that at all," she said. "I stay in my own bubble and try to stay oblivious to external pressure.

My goal is to keep things simple, not over‑think, and just play my own golf." She added, "What I love about this event is the passion from both sides. When Europe gets fired up, it pushes us to elevate our own game.

I don’t set a specific target; if they feel intimidated, that’s fine, but my focus is just to go out and do my thing. I hope the United States brings a lot of passion as well."
