Team Europe Captain, Catriona Matthew has officially announced her squad to face Team USA at the 2019 Solheim Cup this September at Gleneagles, Scotland.
The top 8 women qualified either through their world ranking or the Solheim Cup points list, and 4 were selected as the Captain’s wildcard picks.
Over the weekend 8 players secured their position at The Ladies Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club, the final qualifying event for the Solheim Cup, these were Carlota Ciganda, Anne Van Dam, Caroline Hedwall, Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, Azahara Munoz, Caroline Masson and Anna Nordqvist.
Catriona’s 4 wildcard picks means Suzann Pattersen, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Bronte Law and Céline Boutier make up the 12 member team.
Pettersen was due to represent the European team as Vice-Captain, however, her inclusion will now offer plenty of experience to an already strong team, having played in an incredible 8 Solheim Cups. Stepping down from the Vice-Captain role means Mel Reid will fill the vacant position alongside Dame Laura Davies and Kathryn Imrie.
The countdown is now on until the first ball is struck at Gleneagles and we only have to wait a little longer until Team USA announce their squad on 26th August.
Below is the full European Team list:
1. Carlota Ciganda (ESP)
2. Anne van Dam (NLD)
3. Caroline Hedwall (SWE)
4. Charley Hull (ENG)
