LONDON (Reuters) - Europe's Solheim Cup skipper Carin Koch believes all the pressure will be on opposite number Juli Inkster and her United States side at the biennial team event in Germany in September.

Koch was involved as an assistant captain when fellow Swede Liselotte Neumann guided the visiting team to a record-breaking 18-10 victory in the women's equivalent of the Ryder Cup in Colorado two years ago.

Europe will be going for an unprecedented third straight victory at the St Leon-Rot Golf Club in Heidelberg later this year but the skipper says she feels no extra burden of expectation.
