<p><strong>MEGHAN MacLaren and Suzann Pettersen have teamed up to help give the Ladies European Tour a fresh logo, updated website and tag line.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The Raise Our Game tagline aims to capture the ambition of the new LPGA-LET joint venture partnership – and a shared desire to keep moving women’s golf forward.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The brand refresh includes a short film created in-house, capturing the passion and potential of the LET players, celebrating their hard work, dedication and perseverance.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Narrated by Solheim Cup star Pettersen, with the script written by two-time LET winner MacLaren, it focuses on the hard work and determination it takes to achieve goals.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/-OYR4zHAW5Q?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'></iframe></span></p>

<p><!-- /wp:core-embed/youtube --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The pair hope to inspire women and girls to pursue their passion and realise their potential through the game of golf.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Talented writer MacLaren, who grew up playing golf at Wellingboro GC, in Northamptonshire, said: “I loved working on this project.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It was great to play an active role in the new direction of our Tour.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“This is an exciting time for the LET and for women’s golf. To see the growth potential as we look ahead to the future for the next is very fulfilling.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I’ve always worked hard to raise my game and I’m proud to be a member of a Tour which gives us the opportunity to raise our game further.”</p>

<p>‘It’s something we can’t define . . .’</p>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><strong>MEGHAN’S script focuses on the</strong> <strong>fierce commitment required to compete at the highest level.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>It also highlights the importance of the friends, family and wider community of tournament promoters and sponsors who can drive women’s golf forward, said the LET.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The script reads: “<em>It starts with something we can’t define.  </em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><em>“t’s a dream, but we’re too young to know what it is, where it might take us.</em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><em>“Our family, coaches, friends&#8230; they know. On cold winter mornings and warm summer nights, they help us shape it into something we believe in.</em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><em>“Sometimes we lose it. Sometimes we stop believing. Sometimes we wonder if it’s all really worth it… but we don’t stop.</em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><em>“Because in every new city that embraces us and every new partner who invests in us, on every Monday that promises and every Thursday that threatens to take away – we have a chance to find it again. </em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><em>“A chance to believe again. A chance to make each moment our own.</em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“<em>But it’s yours too, because you’re there by our side, guiding the way. You helped create it.</em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><em>“So it’s time to believe, in all of our dreams. Together, let’s raise our game.”</em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"align":"left"} --></p>
<p><strong>•Megan also wrote a first-person piece telling the story of how she raised her game. You can read it <a href="https://ladieseuropeantour.com/blog/a-positive-partnership-for-all-as-we-raise-our-game/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</strong></p>

<h3>‘The LET made me’ says Solheim Cup star</h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><strong>PETTERSEN – who holed the winning putt at the 2019 Solheim Cup – said at the rebranding launch: “I wouldn’t be where I am without the LET.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I’m excited about the next chapter of the Tour’s history as it looks to provide even more opportunities for women and girls in the game.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I’m thrilled to narrate this inspirational video, re-branding the new LET. The future is bright for the LET and its members.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The 39-year-old Norwegian won 15 times on the LPGA Tour – including two Majors – and another six times on the LET.</p>

<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>

<h4>Future’s bright for LET says chief executive Armas</h4>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><strong>LET chief executive Alexandra Armas believes the tour has a bright future despite the uncertainties caused by the coronavirus pandemic.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>She said: “This brand refresh expresses our excitement about the LET and its future.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“How passionate and proud we all are to represent this strong new brand and that we are in this journey together with our partners – determined to create greater opportunities for the women who play golf today, and for the ones that will follow in the future.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It has been an unprecedented and eventful start to the new decade.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“In January, we announced a record-breaking schedule and we were extremely excited about the 2020 season.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it has been a challenging time for us of late. But we are now focused on the long term.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“This is not only the time to preserve tournaments in 202 – but to build the future that we’re so excited about moving forward for women’s golf.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“The year 2020 is a building block to a bigger and better 2021, 2022 and beyond. Together, let’s do all we can to raise our game.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The joint agreement between the LET and LPGA was signed in November.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>As a result, it paved the way for this year’s expanded playing schedule, which was hit hard by the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Armas was appointed in January in week the 2020 schedule was released.</p>

<p><strong>SOLHEIM Cup winner Suzann Pettersen announced she is to retire for competitive golf after a sparkling professional career spanning two decades.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Moments after holing the birdie putt that secured Europe’s victory in the 16<sup>th</sup> Solheim Cup, the 38-year-old Norwegian, confirmed she would be hanging up her clubs with immediate effect.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“That’s it, I’m done,” she said. “I’m closing it down tomorrow.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I think it’s the perfect closure, there’s no better way to end my professional career. I never thought I was going to be here four months ago until I met Beany (Catriona Matthew).</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“So, to end it this way, that’s very special,” said the two-time Major winer.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Pettersen bows out of professional golf having won 15 LPGA tour titles and seven on the Ladies European Tour.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>This year marked her ninth appearance in the Solheim Cup, stretching back to 2002, during which she won 18 matches, tied third on the all-time European list alongside Matthew – behind only Laura Davies and Annika Sorenstam.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Her most successful year came in 2013 when she won five tournaments around the world and posted an additional 11 top-10 finishes. She ended the year as World No. 2, just behind Inbee Park.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Suzann arrived at Gleneagles as one of Matthew’s captain’s picks having played just twice this season following the birth of her son, Herman, last September.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>But that didn’t stop her combining with Anne Van Dam to beat Danielle Kang 4&amp;2 before delivering the winning point against Marina Alex in the singles.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It didn’t surprise me when Suzann holed that putt,” said US captain Juli Inkster. “It was great. I mean, I knew she knew the cup was on the line.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“And to go ahead and roll that putt in, that’s impressive. That’s why she’s Suzann,” added Inkster, who lost as captain for the first time in three Solheim Cups, having competed in nine as a player.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Pettersen also received a glowing tribute from teammate Anna Nordqvist.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I think I’m speaking for everyone on this team,” Nordqvist said. “Suzann has been a big role model for all of those the last couple of years, more than that.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I remember my first Solheim Cup in 2009, I got to play with a lot of my idols growing up.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It was Laura Davies, Helen Alfredsson, it was Beany, it was Mimmi Hjorth and Suzann Pettersen.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I got paired with Suzann in my second match and it was really cool. It was definitely one of the best highlights of my career.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“She’s going to be missed,” Nordqvist added. “She’s a rock star. She’s such a great character and a big role model for all of us.”</p>

<p><strong>EUROPE will take a narrow one point lead into the second day of the 16</strong><sup><strong>th</strong></sup><strong> Solheim Cup at the PGA Centenary course at Gleneagles.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The home team are 4½-3½ in front heading into the second series of foursomes and fourballs.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>But it is the American team who have momentum on their side after a dramatic finish to the day in which they came from behind to salvage halves in both of the last two fourball matches.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The home side took a slender 2½-1½ lead into the fourballs. But it disappeared when in the second match on the course Ally McDonald and Angel Yin – both left out of the morning foursomes – took just 13 holes to beat Swedish duo Anna Nordqvist and Caroline Hedwall 7&amp;5.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The Americans good off to a fast start with birdies at the first three holes and they also birdied the fifth, ninth, 10th and 11th to increase that advantage to seven.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Nordqvist did get one hole back with a birdie at the 12<sup>th</sup> before McDonald, a late replacement for the injured Stacy Lewis, closed out the match with a par on the next.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The 7&amp;5 score tied the record for the biggest margin of victory in a Solheim Cup fourball, set by one of this year’s US vice-captains – Pat Hurst – and her partner Rosie Jones in their match against Lisa Hall and Sophie Gustafson, at Muirfield Village, in 1998.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“That was the year I was born,” laughed a delighted Yin. “I would say we’re ham and eggs.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“We’ve always got each other’s back, no matter what, and we work together as a team, communicate well. We’re just such a good pairing.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Her partner McDonald added: “When Juli called me in to replace Stacy, I knew it could go either way, so to be able to go into my first match and get a point for the US means a lot.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The USA won the first fourball series 4-0 two years ago in Iowa.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>But any hopes they had of replicating that feat disappeared when the veteran Swede, Suzann Pettersen, and the rookie Dutchwoman, Anne Van Dam, beat Danielle Kang and Lizette Salas 4&amp;2.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>It was a significant win for Pettersen because it was her ninth Solheim Cup fourball victory, tying the European record, held by Laura Davies.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I just want to say I had the best partner in the world,” said the Norwegian.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I told you we don’t have any rookie on the team. I mean, this girl, I think she’s the best golfer I’ve ever seen on the women’s side. Today, she was an absolute rock star.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Van Dam added: “Walking through that tunnel, especially to play with Suzann, who has been my idol growing up, for her to say, ‘Let’s enjoy this,’ that is what I was going to do.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I was just hitting it solid from the beginning. It is not an easy golf course.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Even from the tee you have to hit it in the fairway. If I hit it in the rough I lose my advantage a little bit from the tee, but it was great.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I’m happy I played well and I was happy and comfortable around Suzann.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>At that stage, the Europeans were one point clear of the Americans.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>And that is how it remained when Lexi Thompson holed a curling 25-foot birdie putt across the last green to secure a halve for her and partner Jessica Korda against Bronte Law and Carlota Ciganda.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Then, in the final match, and with the sun starting to set at the end of a long but riveting day, the Europeans, Charley Hull and Azahara Munoz, also lost the last to a birdie to tie their match with Nelly Korda and Brittany Altomare.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The Europeans had been four up with five to play. This time it was rookie Altomare who did the damage, also holing out from long range to keep her side within one point of their rivals.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Those two half points at the end of the day were huge,” said US captain Juli Inkster.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>

<p>“For two rookies (Nelly Korda and Altomare) to be four down with five holes left and come back and tie, you can’t teach that.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It’s just in your belly. I’m just so impressed with them. It was a great end to the day.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>European captain Catriona Matthew said: “Obviously, we got off to a great start in the foursomes. Our objective was to win every session.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“The finish wasn’t what we were looking for, everyone’s a little disappointed with that, but I think you have to take the positives.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“We’re leading. We’re a point up. If we’re leading at the end of each day, that would be great.”</p>

<h2>Matthew sticks with three pairings</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><strong>CATRIONA MATTHEW has named three unchanged pairs for the second series of Solheim Cup foursomes.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The Scot brings back Georgia Hall and Celine Boutier and Charlie Hull and Azahara Munoz after both pairs won on the first morning.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Carlota Ciganda and Bronte Law also return after halving their first foursomes match. The newcomers are Anna Nordqvist and Anne Van Dam.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The American captain Juli Inkster has rung the changes in an effort to make up the 4½-3½ overnight deficit.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>She has given a second foursomes start to sisters Jessica and Nelly Korda who won on the first morning and also Morgan Pressel and Marina Alex who supplied a half point against Ciganda and Law.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The new American pairings are Lizette Salas and Ally McDonald and Danielle Kang and Megan Khang.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The first match on the course at 8.10am will feature Nordqvist and Van Dam against Pressel and Alex.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>They are followed by Hall and Boutier against Salas and McDonald at 8.22am, Hull and Munoz against Kang and Khang at 8.34am and Ciganda and Law against the Korda sisters at 8.46am.</p>

<p><strong>SUZANN Pettersen has never been afraid to speak her mind but this week she may have to let her clubs do the talking after losing her voice in the lead up to match.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“My golf game is in great shape,” Pettersen croaked while attending a press conference ahead of Thursday’s opening ceremony. “But my voice is gone. This is as good as it gets.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Under the circumstances, the veteran Norwegian went on to do a good job explaining how the atmosphere in the European camp differed from her eight previous appearances in the Solheim Cup.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I guess every team has different players,” Suzann said. “I just think these new youngsters on the European team have a lot of character. Their personalities are different but go (gel) together so that’s very good.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>There was also agreement among the European players that new captain Catriona Matthew had a lot to do with the high spirits within the camp.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“With Beany (Matthew) what you see is what you get,” said Pettersen. “She’s as natural as you could be. She’s as relaxed as she looks and she’s confident about what’s she’s doing.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“If I’d been in her shoes, I don’t know if I would have done anything different from her so far. Over the last two years, as I’ve got to know her a little better, I’ve realised she’s as calm as it gets.”</p>
<div id="attachment_6153" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://www.golfnorth.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Ewart.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-6153" src="http://www.golfnorth.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Ewart-1024x700.jpg" alt="Yorkshire’s LPGA winner Jodi Ewart-Shadoff" width="1024" height="700" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jodi Ewart-Shadoff is finally playing pain-free having been given a captain’s pick.<br />Picture by MATTHEW LEWIS</p></div>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>That view was shared by Swede Anna Nordqvist, Germany’s Caroline Masson and England’s Jodi Ewart-Shadoff.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":23794} --></p>
<p><!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I think Catriona is a big part of it,” said Nordqvist who is making her sixth Solheim Cup appearance at Gleneagles.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“She’s very relaxed, very experienced, and she’s so easy going. I think that kind of transfers to the team.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“She’s made things very easy for us this week, and I feel she’s putting a lot of thought into our schedules and the way she’s set everything up.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Of all the teams I’ve been on, I feel like this is the closest everyone’s been and the best team spirit we’ve ever had.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I also think that everybody feels we have the best 12 players in Europe on this team, which is great.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Nordqvist added: I think it’s crucial that everybody in the team feels they’re in the right spot here. Nobody feels they have to hide, and I think that’s huge.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I also think Catriona has done a great job being very open and honest, communicating really well with everybody.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Everybody knows their role and where they stand. It gives the players a lot of a lot of confidence, knowing where they stand.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The last word goes to Ewart-Shadoff, who has recently had keyhole surgery and is free of the back pain that plagued her for much of the earlier part of the season.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“She’s very approachable,” Jodi said. “Obviously, Catriona has played a lot of Solheim Cups, so she knows what it’s all about and she’s very experienced in putting pairings together.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“She knows what she’s doing. I’m just personally very honoured to play on her team.”</p>

<p><strong>SCOTLAND’S Hannah Darling sees no reason why Team Europe cannot beat the USA for the first time in 12 years in this week’s PING Junior Solheim Cup</strong>.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The Americans have won four of the last five editions – 2011 resulted in a 12-12 tie – but the 16-year-old Edinburgh golfer believes home advantage and strong team morale will stand her side in good stead.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It’s going to be tough but we’re on home soil and we’re all playing well so there’s no reason why we can’t win,” said Darling, who won the Scottish Girls’ Amateur Championship in 2017 and 2018.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Our expectations are to win because I believe we can, but we’re also here to have fun and make memories for life.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“The last few days have been amazing. We’ve bonded loads as a team and had so much fun,” Darling added. “Learning about everyone and seeing how everyone plays has been great.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“We’re making memories. It’s very cool. Suzann Pettersen, Catriona Matthew and a few of the other players were out on the course and came over to say hi. That was pretty cool.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Just being with the team and knowing you all deserve to be here – it’s almost like a reward for playing well this season. It’s brilliant.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The PING Junior Solheim Cup is very similar to the senior version with 12 players on each side, and the 10<sup>th</sup> edition gets under way on Tuesday morning with six foursomes over Gleneagles’ King’s Course.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>There will then be six fourball matches in the afternoon, before the contest concludes with 12 singles matches on Wednesday.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Rachel Heck is on Team USA for a second time after helping America to victory in Des Moines two years ago.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Last year the former World Amateur No. 1 also holed the winning putt for the Americans in the Junior Ryder Cup in Paris.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Any opportunity like this is so much fun,” said Heck. “Being able to represent the United States with my best friends is awesome.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“The Junior Ryder Cup was an incredible experience and I’m sure this week will be, too.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It’s such a different atmosphere playing on a team. Looking to the side of the green and seeing your team-mates supporting you is amazing,” said Heck.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It’s a unique experience for us so I’m excited to see what this week has in store.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Were such a tight group. We travel together all the time and always competing against each other, so it’s really cool to actually come together this week and play as a team.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>It is Heck’s first time in Scotland and she was effusive in her praise for both the country and the venue.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“It’s absolutely beautiful,” Rachel said. “It’s cold but it’s so gorgeous. When we’ve been playing the course I can’t help looking around at the views, it’s so stunning.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“The course is beautiful and in incredible shape. It’s so much fun to play. It’s very difficult – it’s perfect for matchplay because it’s so challenging. We’re all just grateful to be here.”</p>

<p><strong>EUROPEAN Solheim Cup captain Catriona Matthew named France’s Celine Boutier, English stars Jodi Ewart-Shadoff and Bronte Law and Norway’s Suzann Pettersen as her four picks.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The quartet were named at a press conference at Gleneagles this afternoon, which was broadcast live on Sky Sports News and the Golf Channel.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The eight players who automatically qualified for next month’s 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles, at the conclusion of Sunday’s Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open were Carlota Ciganda, Anne Van Dam, Caroline Hedwall, Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, Azahara Munoz, Caroline Masson and Anna Nordqvist.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Scotland’s Matthew, who has played in nine Solheim Cups, explained the reasoning behind her four selections, saying “Bronte and Celine’s excellent recent form speaks for itself in terms of why I selected them, and I think they are both going to have fantastic Solheim Cup debuts.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I chose Jodi and Suzann for their vast experience, their recent good form and because I know exactly what they bring to the European team room.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“With our only other rookie being Anne Van Dam, who has also had an excellent year, I feel the experience of our team will be a great advantage to us along with the home crowd support.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Three of the captain’s picks were in the room when Matthew announced her final line-up while Yorkshire-born Ewart-Shadoff, who plays her golf on the LPGA, was not able to attend after having a minor procedure last week.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Ewart-Shadoff said: “I am gutted not to be there for team practice today but I will be back hitting balls next week and I am really excited to be part of Catriona’s team.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I think the team looks incredibly strong, probably the strongest team I’ve been a part of and I’m honoured to have been chose by the captain to be part of it.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“This will be my first Solheim Cup in Europe and just to experience the home crowd will be amazing and a big advantage for us.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Law, who recorded her maiden LPGA Tour win at the Pure Silk Championshi in May, said: “I couldn’t be happier to be making my Solheim Cup debut here at the beautiful Gleneagles.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I am so grateful to Catriona and all the vice-captains for picking me and I can’t wait for it to start.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“To be part of this great team with so many Solheim Cup legends is pretty surreal but they have all been very generous in giving me advice ahead of making my debut.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Boutier said: “I have been dreaming of playing Solheim Cup since I was a little girl and it really is amazing to be here at this press conference and know that my dream will come true in a month’s time!</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Getting out there to practise with the team on the PGA Centenary course where I watched so much of the Ryder Cup was fantastic – and I think this course is going to suit me very well.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Pettersen said: “Catriona knows that matchplay brings out the absolute best in my game and that I will be ready to deliver points for her come September.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I honestly believe my best contribution to our Solheim Cup campaign will be on the course and I am very grateful to Catriona for having the confidence to choose me for this year’s team.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>With Pettersen stepping out of her non-playing role, Matthew announced that Mel Reid would now be her final vice-captain, joining Dame Laura Davies and Kathryn Imrie in the team room and on the sidelines.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The final qualifying event for the USA team will end with the CP Women’s Open in Canada, from August 22-26, with many players still fighting to join their team in defending the Solheim Cup in Scotland, from September 9-15.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Lexi Thompson, Nelly Korda, Danielle Kang, Lisette Salas and Jessica Korda are all safely qualified while past US Solheim Cup team standouts Cristie Kerr and Stacy Lewis, would need to win the CP Women’s Open to claim their place without needing a captain’s pick from Juli Inkster.</p>

<p><strong>EUROPEAN vice-captain Suzann Pettersen is gunning for a Solheim Cup pick and will tee up in this week’s Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open looking to impress captain Catriona Matthew.</strong></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Pettersen and Matthew played together in the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational three weeks ago, which was Pettersen’s first start in 20 months, following the birth of her first child, Herman.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Although the pair didn’t make the cut, Pettersen is out to prove herself worthy of one of Matthew’s four picks at The Renaissance Club when the action gets under way on Thursday.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Obviously I would love to play. It’s the biggest and best stage in golf,” said Pettersen, when asked if she would like to play in her ninth Solheim Cup, taking place at Gleneagles, in Scotland, next month.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I would love to play, if my game is up to it. It’s hard to really tell and that’s why I would love to play this week just to see – and we are picking the team in a week’s time,” Suzann added.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I’m not the one who will pick the final four. I’ve told Beany (Matthew) I would love to, but I also need to show some signs of good form.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Had you talked to me in April, I would have said, ‘No chance,’ but things have changed a bit.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“First of all, I’m a vice-captain, but if she wants me to play, I’ll be honoured and I’ll take that as a credit. Not even I know that.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>When Matthew was asked, at a press conference, about Pettersen’s chances – and whether a Scottish Open win might put her into the frame for selection – the captain replied: “I suppose you need to ask Suzann that…</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“But it’s great to see her playing. I played with her and she was impressive and looked like she had not been away.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“She was perhaps a little unsure of how she might play with being out of the game for probably the year-and-a-half she was.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“I think just from talking to her, she’s kind of got that bug back in her system and is keen to start playing again.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Obviously she’s got the experience there. I would say she’s looking good, actually. I think she’s looking confident.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“She putted well at the Dow. So it will be interesting to see how she does this week.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open is the final qualification event for the European Solheim Cup team.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>It will provide a gripping subplot as the players try to catch Matthew’s eye or earn their place on the team.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Ladies European Tour members will be awarded points for top 10 finishes, with 70 points available for a win down to seven points for 10<sup>th</sup> position in the ‘host event’.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The top three places on the team, currently occupied by Carlota Ciganda, Caroline Hedwall and Anne Van Dam, qualify from the European Solheim Cup points list, while the next five spots – currently held by Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, Azahara Muñoz, Caroline Masson and Anna Nordqvist – come via the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The other players in the field, who are in the frame, include Yorkshire’s LPGA winner Bronte Law, Frenchwoman Celine Boutier, German rookie Esther Henseleit, Norwegian Marianne Skarpnord, English pair Mel Reid and Meghan MacLaren and Denmark’s Nicole Broch Larsen.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Matthew added: “If you look mathematically, there’s a lot of people who could still potentially play their way in.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“There’s still a big pool. I’m looking at a slightly smaller one, but you have to be ready for that unexpected result.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Obviously I’ve got my eye on a few people and I think, as a player, you kind of know…</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>“Some of them haven’t had the results the last couple of weeks they would have liked and know they have to put in a big week this week. I think everyone kind of hopefully knows what they need to do.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Matthew has been drawn with Reid and Hedwall, starting at 1.04pm on Thursday, while Pettersen has been drawn with Van Dam and Boutier, starting from the 10<sup>th</sup> at 7.33am.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Fellow European Solheim Cup vice-captain Laura Davies has been drawn with Law and Broch Larsen, teeing off at 12.53pm.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The European team will be announced at a press conference at Gleneagles at 2pm on Monday, following the final round of the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The North Berwick tournament is the penultimate qualification event for the United States’ Solheim Cup side, led by captain Juli Inkster.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The USA team will be revealed following the CP Women’s Open in Canada, on August 25.</p>
