Readers, don't miss this remarkable interview
Tuesday, October 11, 2011
We're surprised that there has not been more buzz about Sophie Gustafson's Solheim Cup "self-interview." Gustafson, who does not give interviews because of a lifelong stuttering problem, sat alone with a camera and answered questions, often haltingly, given to her by Golf Channel. We saw the piece Sunday prior to the matches and it was the highlight of the weekend: remarkable and, not overstating things, courageous.

Stina Sternberg reports behind the scenes on how the interview came to be and on Gustafson's own feelings about doing it.
For viewers, it made Gustafson's singles victory Sunday all the more meaningful. We think you'll find it moving.
