That was the ultimate in sporting play in Gleneagles.
Let us just begin with the headline grabber, Suzann Pettersen, who produced the ultimate mic drop. To hole the winning putt at a Solheim Cup was an event that, regardless of the majors and the numerous wins on the LPGA Tour and everywhere, has defined her career.
Pettersen had achieved a lot at the Solheim Cup. We’ve seen her come back from five down with five to play to grab a half-point from Michele Redman, then there was also the success alongside Annika Sorenstam in her life.
The pep talk with Caroline Hedwall in Ireland and Azahara Munoz produced drama to fit Gleneagles, before the controversy in Germany over the putt that wasn’t given was the standout moment of this 2015 contest. She needed to pull out in Des Moines only days prior to the beginning, but obtained her distinctive second this time around.
I called Pettersen’s pick by Catriona Matthew as”contentious” about the day it had been announced, though I did add that if anyone could take care of the strain such a pick brings, it would function as Norwegian. However, for a player who returned in July following 20 month maternity leave, that just made one cut in that comeback, to get exactly what she did? Nah, no one could have predicted that!
In case you haven’t listened to the Sky Sports podcast build until the Solheim, it might be well worth going back to hear Suzann’s interview to get an understanding she is quitting golf. There is a little in which she talks about the way maternity leave was the first time she had turned off and just how throughout her career, she’d often wake up at the middle of the night with swing ideas.
Pettersen said it was a relief to get just one year of not considering golfing. She has a little boy and if she has decided she needs Herman to function as her focus, then her. She will be missed.
It would be wrong make it all and to reflect about the 3 days at Gleneagles. Why she’d be the focus, but you can understand. Not has Solheim Cup or a Ryder Cup come down to the final putt of the contest.
Americans are very patriotic with everything happened but having bumped into some of my American colleagues at the aftermath on Sunday evening, all were thrilled. A competition like this, a play like this, can just be in showcasing women’s golf clubs in a positive light and to whet the appetite for Solheim Cups to come good.
If simply, there could be a knock-on impact for the Ladies European Tour. I can sit here and write the way the LET build events around the celebrities of Europe like Charley Hull along with Georgia Hall and can build on this. But I’m sure, I said something and it never occurred.
Now’s not the time the opportunity to be getting to the slow play argument. Yes, it had been painfully slow occasionally, but this is something for your game’s authorities.
It will not change, until there is a willingness to speed the game up and also have officials eager to penalise the players properly. The thing that is key today is to observe a team performance led by this a likable, serene and priest in Catriona Matthew.
I thought the chances of Europe had gone when Charley Hull and Anne van Dam dropped out in the 18th. But at Killeen Castle, once the scores had been tied at 8-8 heading into the singles, then the three matches – with Pettersen in the thick of it of swung Europe’s manner.
There was a lot to savour from the putts at 16 and 15, on the day to the calmness in game and attitude out of Celine Boutier. Hall took the entire world No 3 to finish her week with a 100 per cent record and Carlota Ciganda headed in front to win the opening match. Let’s not forget Team USA who played their role in a Solheim.
Onto the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, to get its 2021 competition. Having a name like that, possibly Matthew may fancy a different Scottish-led captaincy. If not, why not Dame Laura Davies? She has said she wouldn’t be captain, but she wasn’t too excited about the vice-captaincy character and altered her mind there. Over for you, Laura.
