• Pettersen caused outrage in 2015 event over rules incident
The rocky alliance between Suzann Pettersen and the Solheim Cup continues after the Norwegian was surprisingly handed a wildcard pick for the European team seeking to win back the trophy next month at Gleneagles.
Pettersen has played only two events in almost two years due to the birth of her son. She missed the cut at the Scottish Open last weekend; days later Catriona Matthew, Europe’s captain, has raised eyebrows by confirming she will hand the 38-year-old a ninth Solheim Cup appearance.
