Leona Maguire says that Europe have players in-form as they look to defend their Solheim Cup title against hosts the USA this weekend.
Play is due to get underway tomorrow at the Inverness Club in Ohio and run into Monday's Labour Day holiday in the US.
Last month Maguire became the first Irish player to be selected for the team ahead of the 17th edition of the trans-Atlantic team event, which is similar to the men's Ryder Cup.
For Maguire it's a case getting out of the usual solo mindset of a golfer and putting a team spirit together.
"What we need to do is play for each other," said the Cavan woman at a pre-tournament press conference.
"We've got a lot of great players, and players in really good form. Hopefully we can build off the momentum of the British Open.
"Everybody is getting along so well and just getting the most out of each other. We're rooting for each other and we've going to have to be each other's number one fans this week, especially with not as much of a crowd in our favour.
"We just have to embrace it and everything that goes with it. We're really looking forward to it."
Leona Maguire: My Solheim Cup selection is a 'big deal for Irish women's golf'
Maguire has experience of team events, having taken part in the Junior Solheim Cup as a teen, as well as the Curtis Cup. Indeed she competed on three different teams in the latter competition, winning in 2012 and 2016.
The 26-year-old is hoping to harness the experience she gained in all those events when she takes the course this weekend.
"You try to pick up as much as you can from every different event you play," she said.
"The first Curtis Cup I played was on American soil and that was first my experience of that hostile crowd and the "U-S-A" chants.
"As a 15-year-old I probably wasn't that well-equipped to deal with it but I got more comfortable the next two I played. You just have to try to stay in your own little bubble.
"I have a lot of great team-mates that can support me this week and I can pick their brains. Our assistant captains (Laura Davies, Kathryn Imrie and Suzann Pettersen) have some incredible experience as well."
While Maguire wasn't giving much away in her terms of her own role over the three-day event, she acknowledged that she can't wait to get going.
"Everybody talks about the first tee, so there's going to be some butterflies, I'm sure. I'm going to try to embrace it as much as I can - the adrenaline and everything that goes with it.
"It's just really a cool experience. It's going to be like nothing else I've played before. I'm just excited to get going. I think there's been a lot of build-up.
"We've had a lot of practice days already - more practice days than tournament days, which is a little weird.
"I'm just really looking forward to getting started and competing. I love matchplay.
"It's a great golf course," she continued.
"Donal Ross knows what he's doing. It's played a little differently every day, depending on the wind. It's warming up, which is going to make things interesting.
"You're going to have to hit good quality golf shots, which is exactly what you want."
In terms of support on the course Maguire's twin-sister Lisa is there, with Leona joking that "people keep mixing us up".
Although the rest of her family can't travel over from Ireland, Maguire - who has been given the nickname of "Magz" by her team-mates - says she's still hopeful of having some backing.
"I know I'll have a lot of support cheering on from home. A few Irish-Americans from Chicago or New York might make the trip down. I was chatting to the Irish Ambassador [Daniel Mulhall] and he said he was going to try to make an appearance."
