Golf: European Solheim Cup hero Pettersen announces retirement

GLENEAGLES: Suzann Pettersen announced her retirement from professional golf after sinking the winning putt in Europe's thrilling Solheim Cup victory over the United States at Gleneagles on Sunday .

She gave birth to her first child, Herman, just over a year ago and only made the Solheim as a shock wildcard selection from captain Catriona Matthew."This is it. I'm completely done. Today was a dream come true and it was a real team effort. If it hadn't been for my teammates I wouldn't have been able to do what I did."But life has changed for me so much over the past couple of years. I'm just delighted I know what it feels like to win as a mum.

"Suzann has been a great role model, a true great of women's golf and we wish her well," said Scotland's Matthew. "This is definitely the best moment of my career, it even tops winning the British Open. But I think it is harder watching than playing.""It was a tough loss, but I told my team that the sun will still come up tomorrow and it was an honour to do this job three times.
