Charley all set for a lead role in Solheim Cup
Top county golfer Charley Hull is expected to play a lead role in Europe’s attempt to retain the Solheim Cup as the side take on the USA at Inverness Club in Ohio this weekend.

With Hull never having lost a foursomes game, European captain Catriona Matthew could be tempted to partner the Kettering-born golfer with in-form Georgia Hall or fellow English pro Mel Reid on the first morning.
