The 43-year-old from Surrey was untroubled by not playing her best in practice and was unconcerned about making her feelings known.

“All of the Americans are nice girls except one who’s not particularly nice,” commented Davies.

She was not as bold as Seve Ballesteros was in 1991, however.

After the controversial “War on the Shore” match at Kiawah Island was over, Ballesteros described the United States team as “11 nice guys and Paul Azinger”.

They have made up since.

When Davies was asked if she cared to name the odd woman out she replied: “I would never tell you. It’s a 12 to one chance. I’ll let you make a guess.”

Nobody in the press conference took up the offer, but Davies did narrow it down a touch by stating that it was not Juli Inkster, the 47-year-old she has opposed in six of the clashes.

Davies and Annika Sorenstam are the top two scorers in Solheim Cup history with 20 and a half and 21 and a half respectively and both have been stressing the importance of home advantage in a series where the only time the visitors have come out on top was at St Pierre in Wales in 1996.

“It’s our 13th player,” commented Davies.

“I’ve said it all week that if these two teams lined up in America it could be a real problem for us.

“But because of the home advantage, the home golf course, that’s where we have our main chance. We play well, we will win.”

There is also the weather, which is forecast to turn colder, wetter and windier over the three days of competition.

“That certainly won’t diminish our chances at all,” added Davies, who certainly does not see this as possibly her cup
