Captain Cat for Solheim 2019

SCOTLAND’S Catriona Matthew will captain Europe for the 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles.

Matthew, 48, (above) will be seeking a hat-trick of wins back home.

“It’s a dream come true to be captain and doubly so in Scotland,” she said. “At Dalmahoy (1992) and Loch Lomond (2000), the Europeans won, so that puts the pressure on me.”

JOOST LUITEN and George Coetzee share a first-round lead after opening with seven-under par 64s at the Portuguese Masters. Defending champ Padraig Harrington hit a 67.
