Suzann Pettersen is looking forward to returning to golf next year as a mom and a European Solheim Cup vice captain.

Pettersen joined Scotland’s Kathryn Imrie as one of two vice captains named Tuesday by Euro skipper Catriona Matthew.

Pettersen, the 15-time LPGA winner from Norway, called in to the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open via telephone for the news conference. She is due with her first child on Aug. 28. She said she hopes to be a playing vice captain when the Euros host the Americans at Gleneagles in Scotland next September.
