Pettersen holds her nerve on the biggest stage

Gleneagles witnessed the ultimate in sporting drama last weekend as Suzann Pettersen holed the winning putt to secure Solheim Cup glory for Europe.

The Norwegian returned only in July after 20-month maternity leave and made one cut since her comeback. But when it mattered most, she delivered on the biggest stage.

This year’s edition will be remembered for the closely fought matches, Pettersen’s nerves of steel and the sportsmanship displayed by both teams.
