As the men leave the UK the women step up with their primer for the IAG Women’s Open next week. A stellar Ozzie field of 11 women tee it up in Scotland for this LPGA & LET co-sanctioned tournament. The field is split roughly 50/50 between the two tours. Last year Lottie Woad won this tournament and booked her ticket to the LPGA. That is the additional prize for the LET players competing this week.

LETAS

Tournament: Pitch 15 Open

Course: Hanbury Manor Hotel & Country Club

Purse: €50,000

Ozzies in the field: Kristalle Blum, Amy Walsh, Hannah Reeves, Belinda Ji, Munchin Keh (NZ), Wenyung Keh (NZ), Jordan O’Brien, Whitney Hillier

Still this week plus another 11 tournaments left on LETAS but it is never a bad time to start stringing together good results and push toward those top 7 spots on the OOM that get automatic promotion to the LET.

Kristalle Blum sits in 22nd place and Hannah Reeves is in 38th although she has only played four tournaments. Belinda Ji is a bit further back in 55th position. All three need to put together consistent finishes in the coming stretch of tournaments running for four consecutive weeks before a break in the schedule.
