Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hello and welcome to the Ladies European tour and to the outskirts of Dublin for the KPMG Women’s Irish Open held at Cotton House Fairmont. It’s the second year in a row that the Omira course has played host with the pass 73 layout. One of the prettiest Parkland courses we play all year. Set against a magnificent five-star hotel and former country house. 450,000 euro up for grabs and the home hero was back in town. Leona Maguire, the first Irish woman to win on the ladies European tour and a Soulheim Cup star. Not the only big name to tear it up, Charlie, the highest ranked player in the field. While Meline Saxram has won on the LPGA tour this season. Kiara Tambellini returns looking to build on her promising performance in the US Open. Lotty W another to look out for the amateur the champion at Augusta last year. [Music] The weather was windy and at times wet as the opening round got underway. All eyes on the local hero Maguire, but not quite the day she was looking for. A nice touch here on the eighth in a round of one under. respectable enough, but on a day of low scoring, it left her with plenty to do. Charlie Hull was going along a little better. Hull had 2 hours of physio on her back before she went out, and the magic hands did the trick. The English woman fired six birdies with three bogeies in an opening day three under. Brianna Navarosa had one of those days when the spectacular comes easy. She already had a hole in one in the bank at the first before chipping in here for a birdie at the fifth. The rookie four under. The future of European golf looks bright. Lotty wo the best amateur in the world. The English woman’s already impressed in a major and she was catching the eye here. Bogey free and five birdies to boot and all smiles. Her Curtis Cup teammate from last year Mimi roads returned to action on the le after taking a couple of weeks off and was back with a bang. The order of merit leader one of six players with a round of five under in a share of third. The putter working nicely. No doubt about the approach of the day. Meline Saxrom at the par five fourth. Simply brilliant with her second shot for what in the end would be an eagle rather spoiled by a shank at the next as she triple bogeied. Nevertheless, a round of five under. A good start from the Swede. It’s been a solid opening season for Blanca Fernandez. The Spanish rookie with eight cuts made under her belt and a top five finish in Australia. Seven birdies, one bogey. She was tied for the lead at the end of day one alongside Kiara Tambellini. The Swiss couldn’t miss with the birdie putts, some seven dropping as she ended day one on top of the tree. Five top 10s this season for the 2024 order of merit champion. A win surely only a matter of time. Alexandra Swain loves playing in Ireland the day one leader from 2022 with an opening day 68 to share third. Tambellini at the top who was happy with her form. Yeah, for sure. I feel like I’ve had a couple good finishes on L. I’ve had a really good finish at US Open which was very encouraging. Um so I think you know I’m very excited about the next couple events as well. Some some of the majors now coming up in Europe and I think this is a really good test as well. You know there’s a lot of LPJ girls here this week. Um, so it’s really cool to kind of measure my game against some of them already. Um, in yeah, looking forward to next week as well. To say it was wet and windy would be an understatement on Friday, gusting near 40 mph. Just ask Pin Delor. This putt getting a little longer for the French woman at the exposed eighth green. And Leona Magguire’s hopes also blown away. At one stage, it looked like she might miss the cut. Three bogeies on her opening nine, but she fought back. This a great shot at 17 as she came home in 35. Two over for the day, one overall. Amelia Garvey has been in fine form of late and the Kiwi kept it up in Ireland. Power a given for the longest hitter on tour, but she also has the precision 70. She was one of four players at seven under. As Delore can attest, the wind was so strong it was affecting the parts this then from Saxrom even more impressive in for a birdie at the 15th as the Swede playing for the first time in Ireland looking at home the 71 and four back from the lead as was Charlie Hull a bogey free round no mean feet in the howling wind but the English woman often embraces the tough conditions great shot here at nine for a 69 another seven under Kirsten Raji loves playing in the wind growing up on the Australian coastline and it showed a 68 the second best round of the day to fire her into contention as was Tambellini after bogey in 17. This was a big moment for the three-time le winner at the 18th. She gave the ball a talking to and it listened. [Music] Tambellini into the last. How about that? The Swiss eight under, three behind Lotty W. The best round of the day from a player who laughed off the conditions. Seven birdies in a 67 and 11 under overall. A three-shot lead then over Tambellini with four players a further shot back. Amateur W playing like well a pro. But it’s not the first time she’s gone up against the best. Yeah, it’s definitely a bit different, but I feel like now I’ve I’ve had a lot of experience and played in, you know, a lot of majors now and stuff like that. So, kind of know how to deal with it and, you know, I’m just trying to look to stay in contention and see see where it puts me. Normally, you would describe the conditions on day three as tough, but compared to Friday, the wind had dropped significantly. Fiona Magguire went out with four birdies on the opening nine, but this at 14, her only birdie on the back and coupled with a pair of bogeies, she would have to be content with a round of three under. Kiara Tambellini did well just to complete 18 holes. A stomach bug seriously affecting her. A level past 73, then one to be proud of, especially ending with a birdie at 18. Eight under overall, and a welldeserved evation from the crowd. She even managed to smile. It was a frustrating Saturday for Charlie Hull, lacking her usual accuracy with the irons. And when she did put it close, the putts were not dropping. A 72 not what she needed. She was another eight under and in a tie for fourth. Along with Amelia Garvey, the Kiwi grew up idolizing Hull, meeting her when Garvey was just 12 in a tournament in New Zealand. But she was at equal here in round three. A brilliant shot at 16 for what would be a birdie in a round of one under. Kirsten Raji said after her round she was frustrated with her putting. Not one would assume at the 12th. However, it was her only birdie on the back nine in a 71. Enough to see her close alone in third on nine under. One behind Maline Saxrom. Two birdies and a bogey on the front nine and two more birdies on the way home from the Soulheim Star. Tweaked it a bit left. Oh no, she hasn’t. Why are you looking so anxious about that one Meline? Close to the top there, not least it would have been if it wasn’t for the exploits of Lotty W. The 21-year-old went out hot making the turn four under. She kept her foot down. It’s relentless by Lotty W. that at 15. And then at the par 31 16th, another bit of magic from the girl from Farnum. It would be what else but her sixth birdie of the day and up to 17 under par. She was making it look easy. Wo! Bogey free to boot. And she kept that run going when facing this pressure putt on the 17th. To say she judged it well would be an understatement. Simply brilliant. A masterclass from the amateur as she lived up to the hype and put the pros in the shade. Road some seven shots clear. Pure domination. Unless something remarkable would happen. The stars started chasing pack with just playing for second. [Music] Yeah. Um very happy with that. I think I was just trying to extend the lead today if possible and just kind of keep playing how I was playing the previous days and yeah, everything went pretty well. I obviously want to win it, so I’m just going to keep playing my game and then just see where it where it puts me and just keep trying to play well. Stay with us to see if W would pick up her first title on tour or if the likes of Charlie Hull could put on some pressure. We’ll see you after the break. [Applause] Hello and welcome back to Ireland and the countryside outside of Dublin, the magnificent Carton House Fairmont for the final round of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open where Lotty W has been in a class of her own. The world number one amateur entering the final day with a dominant lead. The English woman some seven shots clear from Meline Saxstrom and nine shots ahead of countrywoman Charlie Hull. Pars may well do then for W as she looks to continue to upstage the pros and become just the 13th amateur to win on the le variable the word for the weather. Schools mixed with sunshine. The sky then inconsistent but not so lotty wed hole two. And guess what? After a par at the first, it was her first birdie of the day. [Applause] And at the fourth, it was number two. The English woman showing no nerves as she rolled home another birdie putt. Now 19 under par. Simply too good. Maline Saxram needed to go on a run if she was to have any chance. But this at four would prove to be the only birdie of her opening eight holes. Amelia Garvey though was showing what could be done. This one of five birdies on her opening nine. And while she did drop one, it moved the Kiwi up to 12 under. But Lotty W wasn’t interested in opening the door. A bogey at five. But this approach would lead to her third birdie of the day at the eighth. 19 underpar again. Surely a question of when, not if. Roads dominance in Ireland continues despite three birdies in the first five holes. Charlie Hall and the rest not making inroads. I’m Richard Kaufman alongside Sophie Walker. And Sophie, what’s going on? Well, England golf knew they had a star, but Lotty Road is shining here. Great T-shirt on 10. Just wedging it into a back right pin. [Music] [Applause] It is. There’s no let up from Lotty so far. That’s for sure. Now, here’s the leading Irish woman. Just picked up her first birdie. The 10th has Anna Foster. And there’s another at 11. Up to eight under now. Picking up where she left off in Germany last week. Finished top five there. First time in Ireland for Meline Saxrom, but not Saxram’s first experience of playing with Lotty W. No, she played with her at the Chevron Championship and the US Women’s Open. Looking to get something going on this back nine. One birdie and one bogey coming at nine. Sagstrom struggling to put any pressure on at all. Amelia Garvey having a much better day out in 33 on this pass. 73. Ball below her feet here on 11. Oh, using that slope to cut it in there nicely. One of the hardest holes on the golf course, but you wouldn’t know it. I thought tournaments were supposed to start on the back nine on Sunday, but this is to go eight shots clear. Went the other way. But with Sagstrom not chasing her down, pass will mean that Lotty W will be cruising to victory. And bear in mind, she’s only made two bogeies all week as well. wedge into the 12th for Charlie Hall. This green there is no protection. It’s in the heart of it. It’s a green flag. He had a bit of a bad back coming into the week, but no signs of any issues for Charlie Hall. Swinging it very nicely. Amelia Garby played alongside her idol yesterday. Matched her for score down the hill, right to left. Oh, just needed hitting. Solo top eight finish would see her jump. Luna Subbrang is on the order. America get one of those AIG women open spots that’s available for the five players not yet qualified from the rankings. Tambellini hit three wood to here. This is her gap wedge downwind. Second to 12 posing. Likes it. Great result. She’s feeling better today. And it’s showing. Get those fizzy drinks down you. Some sugar. 130 yards left for Sagstrom. His second cut of rough came out well. Oh, and that is some control. Would have been so easy to flip the face over there, but Sagstrom held it firm. Got that for birdie. Time for a halfway snack now. Whoa. Just her second ladies European tour start. The others came three years ago in Madrid. 120 yards pin. Just can’t be sure. Don’t leave it in that sand. No mistake. And to think when she played in Madrid it was because she wasn’t picked for the Curtis Cup at Marian. She was a reserve. Yeah, that doesn’t seem such a good decision now. Although she’s had a Curtis Cup joy as well, part of that team in Sunnydale last year. Now Leona Magguire third at 18. Not happening for her today. She was so proud of how she made the cut on Friday, but not a single birdie in this final round. Charlie’s been out here with her coach Nick Sto and it’s paying off with the short stick. Another birdie. Yeah, and that’ll take her alongside Amelia Garvey into second place at 12 under. It is a chase for second place. That’s how it feels right now, particularly with the way W’s playing. And just gently move from left to right on the 21y old. Question of just ticking off the hole, staying focused, keep the errors away. No one’s really pushing any heat on her. came 14th at the US Open a couple of weeks ago at Aaron Hills to Tambellini. Just lack pace there. Holds good memories though this event last year. The uh Women’s Irish Open was played here on the Omira. She finished fifth. A result that would take her to the top of the rankings, a position she wouldn’t relinquish. got what it deserved. Beautiful birdie from Saxum. And remember, she can still win first prize of 67 half,000. Lossy word the amateur will not take home the prize money. Yeah, worth smiling about. Been some run of form for Amelia Garvey over the last month. Was working with Jay and Scott Howeth back in Stockport on her golf swing. goes back for a reset every now and then and it set up those five weeks and a birdie look there into 12. Big crowds as always in Ireland following Leona Maguire [Music] and she wasn’t going to disappoint them. Great par on the last hole for Leona Maguire. But it is a birdless 75 for the Irish start. Says she’s been feeding the fatigue. Hopefully she perks up in time for the next major coming up. That was to move back into outright second. Agonizing for Garvey. I mean it is breezy today but compared to what we have had this week it it feels like just a a gentle breeze. Correct. It’s maybe a one club breeze. It was 60 kilometers an hour gusts on Friday and Saturday. Charlie’s enjoyed her week at Carton House staying on site dressed in green of Ireland. Then you mentioned Nick Sto here. Her her swing coach has been here too. Now Madeline with her Irishman on the bag, Shane. Shane Cod with the number wedging a hand for Sagstrom. This has been a part of a game she’s worked incredibly hard on this week. And it’s paying off. Well, she’s suddenly playing like the player who raced out of the blocks on day one when she was eight under through her first 13 holes. I pushed the 3-wood into the sand here. Only the second fairway Lotty Was missed today. 90 yards to the front edge, 108 to the pin. Caught it a little heavy. Okay, no issues over there and we saw from her yesterday when she got out of position made some great up and downs. Now Poland’s first ever ladies European tour player Dota Zalefka two over par to that point. So important birdie for her. Her first since the sixth. Play starts the week just outside the top 80 on the rankings. Now W’s lies is on the up slope so she can carry this 3/4 of the way. Knocks it in tight. play short game exercises back home with coach Luke Bone and Steve Robinson of England Golf. Short par 413. It’s a little flick in for Garvey. Oh, just runs away, doesn’t it? Down the hill there on 13. Soon as it gets to that back edge to maintain her advantage at the top. Not giving any hope whatsoever to the chasers. So in control right now Lotty W Darcy Harry four under today. This is her third into 18. Would love to get this one up and down. Yeah, beautifully done. First major coming up for her at Avian. Could be the second major for Amelia Garvey at Royal P. Calls playing this way not to be on 13. It’ll just be a part for the Kiwi. It’s Lotty the leader. Ever since she stretched away on Saturday, W has kept everyone at bay. A seven shot lead with six to play at the KPMG Women’s Irish Open. [Applause] Welcome back to the Omira course at Khouse Fairmont where it’s the Lotty W show. The world number one amateur putting on a nerveless display and maintaining her seven shot overnight lead. Amelia Garvey just looking to tap this one in for a par on 13. This run of form has had her outside the top 80 five weeks ago and now she’s inside the top 20 on the order of merit. This for a fifth unanswered birdie of the day for Patricia Schmidt and she’s got it at the par 316. In fact, she’s bird both the par threes on this back nine inside the top 10 now at nine under. Collector’s items on those signature holes. Long T-shot by W. Close to the front edge on this par four. Delightful. I mean, she’s playing well. She’s got to be leading by this much. But is there any sort of weakness in the game at all? Well, she’s very hardworking. And her weakness might be that she’s very hardworking. Sometimes you have to say, “Lotty, have a break. Now here’s Cecilia Finner Ipsson who’s having a good day. Go ahead and it’s just got a bit better. Well, that could well seal her best ever finish on the Ladies European tour. 68. What a way to conclude her Irish Open. Now Saxram’s coach, Hans Lson, has told her to be more aggressive. take driver at every opportunity. She’s done that here. And that one checking up on her. Still 15 feet left for Birdie. Back in the winner circle this year, Meline Sction with that victory on the LPGA Tour in Las Vegas at the match plate. A good hold this 14th. Yeah, plays a good 20 yards down the hill. So, it’s only a mid iron for Garvey. controlling one in there nicely. That could have taken a big kick and skipped through, but the strike made sure it didn’t. First birdie of the back n 20 under par. The winning score here last year was 19 under. Conditions were a little kinder as well. So unbelievable scoring from W Lisa Peterson. Par three nine iron over the water front right pin. Oh yes, no fear there at all. Yeah, she was in a playoff here a couple of years ago. In fact, all three KPMG Women’s Irish Open since we’ve come back have gone to a playoff. I don’t think that’s going to happen this year, though. A hat-tick of birdies for Maline Sagstrom. Yeah, moves into outright second at 13 under. It’s kind of the way she needed to have started the day if she was going to put any pressure on W this to join the suite. Not going anywhere, is she? That’s a fabulous two from the Kiwi. Got a determined look on her face. Job to be done. Pull calling. Hannah screen has just gone birdie eagle on 16 and 17. Yeah, she struggled last Sunday in Germany, but that firmly behind her here. Great performance. Another one seems to be up there every week. Hannah screen eight iron here for Sagstrom. Got the Irish green on now. Looked worried. It was turning over, but it’s stuck in these soft greens. We’ve had some rain over this week. Well, this would end what’s been an excellent day for Hannah screen. Oh, that’s a pity. It’s going to be another top 10 though. She considers herself halfIrish. Yes, her mother is Irish. Six consecutive top 20 for the 25y old to the leader at 14 Liy W 79. The Farnum faithful will be loving that one. back home at her local golf club. It did. It’s fine. Lotty. Yeah. On course to do a Larry, an amateur winning an Irish Open. Shane Larry doing that in the men’s version over a decade or so ago. T back today at 15. So how got home in two yesterday having to play it as a three shter today for four in a row for Meline Sagstrom. Now this put can trick you. It’s actually left to right. Spread it. Well, I say that because this green has a a sharp slope that kicks everything towards the back of it, which is why W was asking, is my ball long? Yeah, this little stretch 14, 15, and 16 part of Omira Courses amen corner. It’s fooled Charlie Hull there. that P. What’s he wed for another birdie? Right edge firm. Not going to turn pro until she’s got two more points needed to get her LPJ tour card. something she could achieve at next week’s Evian Championship through the Elite Rankings, the Elite Amateur Pathway Rankings. Nine iron here for Charlie Hall. [Music] Pin seeking good signs heading into the European Majors, you feel after this weekend’s golf for Charlie. It’s a lovely looking hole. This 16th sheltered in the trees and then you shoot out over the water and the wind affects it down off the left. Well, we saw it bounce, but it then came off the slope backwards towards the penalty area. Might be a bit of trouble there for Tambellini. Quick one for Garvey, for Birdie. Third in Belgium, third again last week in Germany, tied second right now. You feel the wind almost kept that one out to the right hand side. You can see it gusting down the river onto this green on 16. Yeah, solid. Garvey moves to 16. Spring in her step. And you wonder what that last round did in Germany where she shot under par in difficult conditions. Well, she thought about playing from the thick grass around the penalty area, but after much deliberation went to the drop zone and it seems a wise move from 100 yards. She can still make bogey from there. Trouble at 18 for Patricia Schmidt. this for a bogey five. Well, she’d been bogey free until that hole today. Still going to be a 400 past 69, but that will take her out of the top 10. She’s a fight to Tambellini, but it is a drop shot. She goes back to minus 10. Well, it’s been WS World all weekend in Ireland. No sign of a wobble. No one’s got close to her in this final round. On course to become the first amateur winner on tour in 3 years. [Applause] Hello and welcome back to the final round of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open where Maline Saxram added yet another birdie to the car. This at 15th, her fourth of the back nine to move to 14 under par. beautifully judged. Well, a rare mistake from Lotty Road. A bogey at the same hole. Hard the alarm bells, but the lead as close as it had been all day, down to five shots. Two Eagles in a final round 66 from Fatima Fernandez Cano saw the Spaniard match the low score of the week and up to a tie for fifth. Wo though five ahead, three to play as the final three ball reached the 16th. Beautiful scenes here. A front right pin 144 yds, but it’s playing more like 130. Rudley hasn’t made a birdie all day. Looking to change that here on 16. Just short of the green in two at the par 517 for Charlie Hull. Come on. Was on its way to win in 2025 since that victory on the LD in Riyad. Be annoyed by that drop at 15. Looking to put that right here. A nine iron for W. It’s drifting from left to right all over it. Two cracking t-shots into 14 and 16 for W. Kiara Tambellini had some problems at 17 this week. Dropped shots here on Friday and Saturday. Got a little bit of revenge there. Lovely birdie after the drop at 16. Saxrom ranked 30th in the world. So the second highest ranked player in the field. This for her fifth birdie in six holes. Wasn’t left wondering. Yeah, good try. It’s been an excellent back n from her. Easiest of birdies for Charlie Hall. She gets herself to 13 under [Music] normal service has been resumed. Back to 20 under power for Loy Road and back in front by six. It’s rare to see anyone win in this manner, never mind an amateur clutch by W. Biggest ever win on the ladies European tour actually was this event by Laura Davis 30 years ago. Raji off the mark. Good things come to those that wait. Four came up short left in a blustery shower that just came through. That’s delicate by Garvey. Checking it up in there tight. Yeah, some display from Lotti Wo, but credit to Amelia Garvey. Top class performance from her as well. Well, the narrowing of the gap to five didn’t last long. enjoying herself, Saxra, as has Anna Foster in front of the the home galleries. Trouble off the tea on this most difficult of finishing holes, the 18th, sticking that one into reverse. What a way to finish. A great noise here in Ireland come out of their numbers. Great to see back into a share of second place for Amelia Garvey. This is looking like the best round of her week. Jamie Tippia there. It’s her cousin who’s caddying for her. She’s struggled with this 18th this week. Charlie Hull. the tree on the left hand side again only managed to get it into this bunker. Already had a couple of bogeies this week there. Talking of bunkers found hers with her layup here at 17. 100 yards. Strike sounded good. Look at that. The spin from the wet sand down the slope. Brley, you’ve been waiting a while for a birdie. She’s going to get two in a row here on 17. [Applause] Yeah, that was special from Rley. Let’s see what Tambellini can also do from S. She also hit it in the tree down the left. [Applause] Well, show her plenty of confidence ahead of the European major. She has played by the Evian before. Tambellini has been exquisite inside 100 yards. Sagstrom 85. Take it long. Spin it back. Textbook. You’re setting himself up for a fifth birdie of this bat. Nine. Sangstrom not dropped a shot yet today, but work to do here for Charlie Hull. Pity, but it will be a 4 under 69. Never threatening to win, but that’ll be good enough for for fourth place. I think she just wants to tap it in. Very solid performance. Another top 10 on the Ladies European tour. She has a 50% record of finishing inside the top 10. 70 69 7269 for Charlie Hall. Well, like at 15, she laid up in the rough. Done the same here at 17. Lotty W 65 yds to a front pin. Well, she’s showing off now. an exclamation mark on an amazing week. Wo prides herself in her wedge game. Works incredibly hard on it to have results like this. Up to 18. Tambellini. [Music] Okay, is going to be a drop shot, but a round of 71. Good enough for a sixth top 10 of the season. Signs are good for Kiara Tambber. Saxram is in free flowing motions now with this putter. Coing it down the hill and got another one. She has been a pleasure to watch this back nine. Yeah, she’s finishing this week in style. Second on her own again. 15 under par and a closing 72 for Anna Foster. Not enough for a top 10 finish, but with 16 Irish players in the field this week, she finishes as the leading Irish player, eight underpar to get to double figures. Easiest of birdies for Rud Lake. Yeah, you wait all day for a birdie, then two in a row. their friend Sophie on the back. Huge drive at 18 from Garvey. A 300 yd T-shot. This one playing 100 yards to a back pin. Left that one hanging out a bit to the right. Yeah, she had a long wait there. The playing partner’s in trouble at this hole. So maybe just lost a little concentration. W was back on the tea watching that. Yeah, you wouldn’t want to be waiting on this tea with a one shot lead, but six, that’s pretty comfortable down the right. That’s absolutely fine. Long as you don’t go left off this tea into the thick stuff. She knows the job is nearly done as it is for Amelia Garvey. Another little shower coming through. Just send this one high up the right side off the shoulder of the bunker. [Music] Yeah, fantastic. What a month it’s been for her. Looks like a third third place finish in four tournaments. All fourth call bound. She will take next week off and then head to the women’s Scottish Open and the AIG Women’s Open for Amelia Garvey round a 67 to finish a super Sunday. Well, there’s been a lot of questions about Liy Wo. when she going to turn pro, but there’s never been any question this afternoon whether she’s going to win. Just wants to keep this eight iron low. It’s 150 to the pin, but looking at pitching this front edge, [Applause] just her ninth professional tournament. She has been playing in majors, but she’s taken on almost half of the European Soulheim Cup team this week in Ireland. and she has been some distance away from every pro in the field. It’s been a dominant performance. Would love to just have two putts and win properly as she would say. [Music] I thought she was only going to take one then. almost almost got the finish this performance deserved. I mean, she can’t take the first prize, at least not the the monetary first prize. That will go to Sagstrom if she takes care of this parot. It’s been a lovely first trip to Ireland for Meline Saxstrom in a box seat of some performance from the world number one amateur. [Applause] The wonder of wo champion here in Ireland. What a display. This wasn’t just a victory. It was a statement. England Golf has another star on their hands and we can say I was there for the final day. A victory lap for Lotty W who wins by six shots at 21 under par. A first le top 10 for Alexandra Swain. Former champion Smeila Sonibu closing with a 68 and a fine fight back from Alice Houston after a first round that left her outside the top 90. This surely a familiar site for years to come. naughty road in the winner circle with a trophy in her hands. It definitely means a lot. Um, obviously had a big lead coming into today, but still to, you know, really focus and I was being chased by some really good players, but yeah, happy to get it done. Mimi Rhodess 31st here this week, the three-time winner extending her lead in the Order of Merit over Sarra Kuska. Amelia Garvey moves into the top 10. Darcy Harry 17th in Ireland closing the gap slightly in the Rookie of the Year race with Amelia Garvey now hot on their heels in third after her fifth top 10 in a row. Netty Corder top of the Rolex world rankings while a path to remember for Lotty W in number two Gino Titkan the tie a two-time amateur winner on the LE. Thanks for watching as all roads led to Lottiw the English woman with a significant breakthrough ahead of her major at the Evian. As ever, you can stay in touch at ladiesuropeanour.com. Until next time, bye-bye for now. [Music]
