Catriona Matthew’s Solheim tip
“I think it would be a great Solheim Cup venue,” said the former Women’s British Open champion of the East Lothian resort. “Both its courses are really good and the fact it has accommodation close to the courses makes it a perfect set-up.”
This year’s Ladies Scottish Open, on 3-5 May, will be the third staging of the event at Archerfield Links. “The players love the facilities. They think it is one of the best places we play,” added Matthew.
