As a player, Catriona Matthew knows all about Solheim Cup success on US soil, securing the half point which guaranteed Europe's sole away victory to date in 2013.

Now the 52-year-old Scot faces the daunting task of captaining the side to a second victory in the United States to retain the trophy won in such dramatic circumstances at Gleneagles two years ago.
