LONDON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The Solheim Cup can sometimes create niggly moments between the two teams but the players generally end the week as friends, according to European wildcard selection Catriona Matthew.
The Scot was given the perfect 46th birthday gift on Tuesday when she was one of captain Carin Koch's four wildcard picks for next month's matches, along with Germany's Caroline Masson, Swede Caroline Hedwall and Karine Icher of France.
The biennial Solheim Cup event, much like the men's Ryder Cup equivalent, can often throw up a spicy confrontation and Matthew would not be surprised if there were one or two controversial moments in Heidelberg, Germany from Sept.
