All eyes were on the first tee at 1.30pm in the first round of the ANA Inspiration as the 2019 European and United States Solheim Cup Captains, Catriona Matthew and Juli Inkster respectively, teed off together at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California.
Matthew opened with a one-over 73 while Inkster shot a two-over 74. On Friday, Inkster’s 75 proved too much to make the weekend but Matthew made the cut on the number with a level par 72. The Scot, who won the 2009 Ricoh Women’s British Open at Royal Lytham, closed with rounds of 70 and 72 to tie for 55th place in the first Major of 2018.
