-We knew about Meg Mallon. Dottie Pepper was in here Friday. She got emotional because Meg talked about here and we don't know. We asked her, would you be an assistant captain? Does this kind of, you know-- Is there a tour going on now, but on the European side-- the European [unk] last year, you said 13 is not gonna happen. Is that still the truth? You know, if not you, who should be the European Solheim Cup captain? -You know, they haven't made a decision yet and I think that they are evaluating the different candidates. I mean, I have been asked, but a decision has not been made. I think they're gonna wait until, you know, the end of this month. -What you asked? -If I wanted to do it. -Okay. -So-- -And so the jury said you're still deliberating? -Yeah, we all do, yeah -Okay. -Everybody. I'm not sure who-- You know, there are some great candidates out there. I just think they wanna make the right choice and who can commit themselves. -Just I'm a little confused. You have been asked to be the captain. -Uh huh. -But when you say we're all trying to figure it out. Who's we? -Have been asked again. -You've been asked again. -Yes. -Okay. -That's where we are. -So, if you wanna do it, all you have to say is yes and you have yourself. -Well, I don't know if that's-- if it's that easy, but I've been asked for them, you know, they've asked me to reconsider and I guess I'm reconsidering, but then again it's a big. I sense-- I stand by my answers, you know, it's a lot to do. I have young family. I know if I'm committing, you know, if I have the time to commit to the job. I know what it takes, you know, being the assistant captain, being with Alison, you know, she did have incredible job for years. I mean she committed her life to this, and I know I have no on that or I just can't do that. -Will the decision on the Olympics affect whether or not you are interested in being a Solheim Cup Captain? -Yes. -Certainly at time different commitment that you will be spending if you have to go -Yes. -Down to Brazil now and again. -And with that being said because that's a very important thing. If you don't get it, do you think the inclination you'd be more inclined because you have less than you played. -That I don't know. I mean I have to evaluate all the things, and they're both wonderful honors. You know, I've said that I would love to be the captain one of these day if the timing is now or later, I don't know. -Uh huh. -Fair enough--
