Matthews completes Solheim Cup team with captain’s picks
European Solheim Cup captain Catriona Matthew has named Celine Boutier, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Bronte Law and Suzann Pettersen as her four wildcard picks for next month’s contest against the USA at Gleneagles.
Matthew named France’s Celine Boutier as her first pick, followed by England’s Bronte Law, Norway’s Suzann Pettersen (who Matthew replaced as a player due to injury in the 2017 contest), and finally England’s Jodi Ewart Shadoff.
Suzann Pettersen is one of Catriona Matthew’s four captain’s picks for the Solheim Cup
They join Carlota Ciganda, Caroline Hedwall and rookie Anne Van Dam (who secured their spots in the Solheim Cup rankings), as well as Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, Azahara Munoz, Caroline Masson and Anna Nordqvist, who all qualified through their world ranking.
Peterson, 38, was the most surprising pick, given that she has played only two events in almost two years due to the birth of her son. Currently 644th in the world rankings, she also missed the cut at last week’s Scottish Open.
