[Applause] oh hello and welcome to the ladies European tour and to the Sunshine State of Florida for the aramco team series presented by pif Tampa we’re just over the Bay from Tampa in Clear Water happy named with its Crystal Waters and white sand beaches and well class golf courses

Feather Sound Country Club playing Host this week a par 72 with plenty of water but generous Fairways a reminder of how things work this week two tournaments running side by side with the team one wrapping up after two days and the individual one ending on the third the

Teams contain three pros and an amateur with the best two scores from each hole going down on the card $1 million up for grab split equally between the two events let’s check out some of the key teams Paulie rousan won the team event in Florida last year this time she had

Seline bban mean McLaren and amateur Lan Amar Khalil in her lineup Charlie H had fellow brick Kelsey McDonald and Pier Bab with Alex o loan as their amateur Brony law fresh from winning in Morocco had Sophia popof foravi s alongside amateur Jim bod while Lexi Thompson had

Santa Newton and ly May humph and amate Jim Craig a 1980 Olympic gold medal winning ice hockey player two trophies on the Line perfect temperatures low wind and a forgiving course good scores were to be had te Charlie Hall not quite in the mix but the captain was going well in the individual event a winner of an aramco in New York in 2021 the englishwoman was firing the flags even From the Rough and

Opening day 68 left her two back a similar story for team carlot seander the Spaniard won the last team series event in Riad but this time the individual title looked to be more of a realistic hope after the opening day take a b carot VOS

A round of six under left in a tie for the lead with Kim Metro who was also going along well in team and vanam M adwe and amateur West Patterson making up the quartet The Forum closed 14 under thanks in no par to shots like this from

The Swiss Leander Metro a 66 helping a team to sit just four off the Lead same score as team Nicole Garcia Khloe Williams their standout performer the Welsh woman with a 66 six PL stick working beautifully a nice touch too from Alice Houston at the E to rescue par her team containing Haley Davis and Emma Spitz along with amateur Barry Hyde closing 15 Under that was a cracking effort two teams shared the lead one of those team PA in rousan buard sine air ban the star per form over a 67 rousan took her team to victory in this event last year at 18 under the French woman’s team well placed to repeat the

Trick the amateur a key part of this competition and team Brony law had theirs to thank at the ninth the wonderfully named Jim bod with a net Eagle at the last Pole to P himself Sophia popof of pravi s tied at the top it was a tight looking leaderboard

Then and a story within a story for co-leaders team law with sfia pop off returning to action after maternity leave pop off with a 69 the new mom turning it off at one point I felt like the hole was like a mile wide so uh it was pretty

It was pretty cool but it kind of we fed off of that a little bit I started making some pots and um yeah like I said it was just such a fun environment to come back in and uh to have obviously at the end of the round you know you finish

Your last pot and then you get to get to see your baby that’s amazing too it as well in the individual side of things four players tied at the top in what was an international looking leaderboard nine different nationalities within two Shots they two and the wi blue suddenly it was a different golf course as the team event came to its conclusion and with so many teams in the mix impossible to call team Charlie Hall began on the back nine seven shots behind but went out nine under and Kelsey McDonald made

It 3 birdies in a row after the turn and teammate Pier babnick back in form after a harrowing 2023 kept them coming a beautiful approach here at the very next hole team Hall up to 2400 par in contrast overnight co-leaders team ping Lucian Bard were only three

Under for the day approaching the turn momentum change needed provided big time from the captain on nine with a birdie there the team was struggling they needed a team anaan Chino another who started seven behind the overnight leaders and like team hall went on the charge Captain poik trino who was going well

Individually helped her team to 10 under for the day through their front nine and they didn’t stop there adding birdies at one two and three and this would lead to four and four at the fourth Captain’s pick inis Lish added another at the same hole with five holes to play they were

24 under par high fives all round team Alice Houston were another right in the mix despite a relatively slow opening nine of six under par at the 10th but back on track at the par 5 11th and The Spits here with one of two team birdies as they move to 23

Under at one stage team Lexi Thompson threatened before falling away over the closing four holes but the American Superstar in a good position individually she would head into the final day at 5 under team Brony law the coover night leaders they were just four under for

The day by the 11th hopes fading but bnavi Ur fifth in Morocco two weeks previously we found the birdie touch to move them to 23 and the opposite story for team anap trino just aart at the fifth and a costly miss here with the poter from L

Lish at the sixth as the team dropped a shot and move back to 25 under and team Charlie Hall were putting the pressure on babnick a winner at the aramco team Series jeda in 2021 playing beautifully this would lead to another birdie at the seventh and with two holes

To go the team had moved to 25 under par just a par at the eight but both Hull and babnick on the dance floor with birdie PS at their final hole H up first and she na a second successive both free 68 from the world number eight just as

Importantly a te to 26 under kabnick follow suit and make it two birdies at the last the P was never missing the European pair delivering and a 27 under it was a highly competitive Clubhouse lead they could only watch and wait and they could cross one team off their list

Team Al trino one over in their last four holes heading to the ninth they needed two team birdies to match team ho score but their radio was off it would fall just short team head B still in the mix Mar Sans bario with a vital birdie

At the 16th to move to 24 under three behind the club house leaders team H good finish for team Lexi first and put them 23 under with a top 10 finish but more significantly for the captain this part leaving her seven under oh no she has it what a

Part what wow that was huge German just won off the individual lead team Law’s challenge just wasn’t getting any traction aogi at 12 just a par at 13 and while this dropped at 14 for a birdie to move to 23 under it didn’t spark a comeback team headwall

Another falling just short three behind with two to play the captain did her best with this birdie at the 17th but it would prove to be the last the for would make they would close at 25 under team rousan bushard were stuck on 23 under unable to find any momentum just

Five under for the day they got a timely boost with an eagle at the 14th from the captain and that was followed up by amateur teammate Lan Omar khil LJ part of carlotto sanda’s winning team in Riad rolling home a birdie at the same hole a three- shot move for the team in

Up to 26 under just one shot behind Clubhouse leaders team Hall team Alice Houston needed a big final two holes if they were to put the pressure on and The Spits delivered with this birdie at the 17th one behind with one to play the face told the

Story and it came down to the Austrian again at 18 an even longer birdie part this time around and again she drained it birdie birdie finish for team Houston 27 under and level with Team Hull no wonder they were celebrating pressure on team rousan bushard who after their heroics at 14

Came through 15 and 16 with passs another big moment needed from the captain and the us-based French woman nailed her Approach at 17 a near tap in birdie to move level at 28 under team birdie then needed down the 18 to clinch the win and rather handily

LJ got an extra shot down the stroke index two half four her approach shot safely on the Green in effect for a Net One all smiles then but still plenty to do with the flat stick teammate Seline air ban and mega McLaren unable to make Birdie the captain was left with a

Monster Putt in her attempt to land a birdie of her own great effort from buan buha but not to be yet it would secure a par all then down to alj to take the win and the pressure on she left her net eagle part short so this knee knocker between her

Team and victory far from Easy even for a pro but she made it look straightforward LJ the hero winning her team rousan buha professionals a combined $115,000 the celebrations could begin a final day 10 undertaking team rusan buad to 28 under par LJ very much deserving

Of the hug from her caddy team Harlem Houston shared second team headwell and poite trino in a tie for fourth join overnight leaders team law ended in sixth the day though belonged to team paing ran buard she aan Mega McLaren and Luan Omar khil the aramco team series presented by PF Tampa champ

One was a nerve wreck an absolute nerve wreck I’m I’m happy it sunk um Pauline Seline and Megan have carried us throughout the round uh they’ve kept the vibe going um I I couldn’t do much today but I had good golf yesterday contributed a little bit but it’s always

A pleasure being part of the team that event concluded but the individual one nicely poised the 68 from Charlie Hall gives her just a single shot advantage over carlot Sanda and Lexi fing with just one round to play stay with us to see if Lexi first of carlot Sanda could catch Charlie Hall

With the English woman Wi on American soil again we’ll see you after the Break hello and welcome back to clear water in Florida for the final round of the individual event of the aramco team series presented by PF tamper at Feather Sound Country Club where Lexi first then heads into the final day just one shot off the lead as she looks for her third

L title in just a second year on tour a tough looking pair to overcome though carot sander the defending Champion alongside her at 7 under while Charlie Hall is out in front the world number eight the one to beat looking to pick up a second individual aramco team series

Title a reminder of how things stand H with a One-Shot lead but very congested behind Anna trino and Lexi Thompson amongst 20 players all within four shots of H’s lead windy and for Florida a little cooler on the final day as play got underway Charlie Hall off to an

Inconsistent start a bird at the first first followed by a bogey at the second but this Approach at the fourth would take a one under for the day and in front at -9 D sh dagger perhaps a little too far back to challenge but a contender for

Shot off the day at the 10th to go to seven under Lexi fing began the day one shot off the lead but she was soon in a tie at the top a bird at the second and then this at the sixth put a level with

Harlot 9 under and at the next hole she got her nose in front another classy P from the German her third birded the round and suddenly one clear yet both she and Hull would bogey the eighth hole carlot Sanda meanwhile yet to get going a bogey the third not a

Single Birdie on the card she was three shots of the pace heading to the turn I’m Richard Koffman alongside me is Sophie Walker and so far first looking at home in the final group with the two solheim stars isn’t she just hitting Fairways and greens over 80% in both

Categories it’s pin on the right hand side wind from left to right German excellent oh what a performance first inning’s putting in right now looking to bounce back from that drop shot at the last out in 37 for the other Lexi Lexi Thompson the Arco team series New York

Champion with a birdie there at 10 Charlie turned her approach over down the left hand side of nine this one has some swing on it yeah but it looks like she might be pting for par before first thing actually PS for birdie we saw chipping in out of the

Bunker and nearly another one going in from off the green for dick shager this is a carbon copy of Charlie Hull’s shop she knows it picks up pace about now first was having a look at that her birdie PS on a similar kind of line is the Indian open champion of

2023 K with this pin on the left hand side just off the back of a bogy on nine looking to get it under pass starting her back nine yeah looking for a first birdie of the day so chance coming up there hold a good P for par at

Seven but that’s backto back Bogies to end the front nine for Charlie Hall she’ll be out in 37 could see a two- shot swing here I don’t think anyone was quite predicting this well both playing partners are over par for the front line that would have been a statement wouldn’t

It yeah that was for a three shot lead to take down the back nine missed opportunity for firstling but great position to be in hit a good chip on the right hand side to here on 11 makes the par Lexi [Applause] Thompson yeah that when she had in New

York her own only victory since 2019 as saganda gets up and down birdless front nine from the defending Champion she’s three back at six under plenty for Holland saganda to think about firstling the one now to catch 24 year old from Berlin one of only two players to win twice on the L

Last season the other being s boutier German am compatriot back in the day up on the 10th missing out there for her birdie yeah been one of those days for crter now here’s estasia noo who had been going so well but that’s Drop shots at 13 and 15 now from the Teenage French

Player that she might be setting a clubhouse Target as zanda pulled her t-shirt off the te on 10 had to chip out to here wedging it into a front left pin she must get up and down you think three back that is a wide by her standards yeah Charlie HS found the

Bunker as well with her approach so no signs of them claing in the lead this is a totally different hole today the 11th 570 yards back into a hurting wind and jino setting up a birdie look she’s got a chance to get it to minus 7 this is Charlie’s third green missed

In a row came out soft on it so struggling for par again little Shake of the head there from Charlie Hall not used to this little few setbacks at the end of the front line from po Trina Bogie’s at eight and nine that’s only the sixth bird here

Today on 11 and she does now go three back got a bit of a break avoided the sand and like her playing Partners unlike them she’s making everything seem pretty easy right now it’s the first green I can remember ferling missing tidy game isn’t it well it’s why she won those two

Events at the end of last year in muor and before that in Switzerland routine par and over to those solheim Stars what 12 solheim Cup appearances between them both struggling for par on that hole two time ladies European tour winner dick shagger looking to find something on the back nine yeah

Considering she started the week with a double bogy Sage she’s done well to get into this position well this is not going to plan for the Spaniard is it Charlie Hall you could say the same it’s a tough day out there it is Breezy it is a little bit cooler as

Well that was right straight off the face close that club face so back to six and a PA for the player who finished third on the rankings last season big p you feel oh B get eight bog good nine clinches a par on 10 yeah that’s a big save from the world number

Eight you see the mannerisms of Charlie Hall shaking her head we saw that from carlot zanda she found the trees on 10 mopping up for a bogey couple over for the day and now four back from the leader not what was expected so far in this final round of the aramco team

Series presented by PF tamper Lexi fing upstaging two of your at best opening up a two- shot lead Brony law now in a share of second Place hello and welcome back to Florida for the aramco team series presented by PF tamper where Brony law was on another final day charge Bird’s at 15 16 and then another here at 17 she was clearly pumped and from nowhere up to 8 under after a bogy at 10 Sanda got just

What the doctor ordered at the 11th a much needed birdie for the Spaniard to move her back to six under three behind saon La within one shot of the lead but looking for a third L win in just the last 10 starts it’s Lexi fing

In front in Tampa final group are off to the 12th this par three is severely downwind today it’s an a Tiant here for zanda needs to pitch it short off the flag that golf will release oh she hates that she’s pulled it again we have seen that shot on the 9th

The 10th and now here on the the 12th how hard is it to remedy that when you’re in the middle of an event like this it’s the shot she hits when she’s tense she just keeps that club face left too much this is a seven iron for

Firstan he maybe playing only 155 yards with the downwind and the firmness of the green and she has pitched it exactly where you need to on 12 controlled and precise well what a classy shot that is from first link Charlie how’s supposed to be putting the pressure on

Her she got that firm bout whereas Lexi pitched into an UPS slope and it stopped Charlie didn’t Brony La can she squeeze out another birdy one back remember there’s only one place this is heading straight out the flag is it enough to carry the bunker of course it

Is well it’s it’s like Morocco all over again winner of the la la Mariam cup where she was seven back going into the back nine and had that incredible 64 just missed the green right here noo runs down towards that back left cup that not dropped Sanda

Now really can’t afford to drop another shot it’s back into the grain that’s why it’s stuck she thought she’d hit it too hard Brony law for a 66 and a share of the lead this one will move off the shoulder of the bunker from left to right stay help agonizingly

Close but another great final day performance from Brony law eight under par that’s the mark she has set will it be enough from her face I think she is going to be one or two short the anguish there as she talks to her caddy Gary she knows exactly where she is in

This tournament one those First’s close that’s not going to fall for Charlie Hull so many runner up finishes last year five of them through the back on 13 Hannah trino needs to keep this to the right it slides away is well thought thought out and well executed yeah beautifully G from the [Applause]

Spaniard well this is for chance to get that lead back to two style of put that she missed on nine no mistake this time well she’s doing what we saw her do in Switzerland and Mi mea out in front and keeping them at Bay for dropping the birdies in along the

Way so impressive so far man and Dy here on the right hand side of 14 the easiest hole on the golf course downwind PA five go pH sets are up for another birdie one under the day the aramco team Series bangok winner but it’s a good up and down but

She’s lost another shot to Lexi firstling has carota Sanda they seem to be stuck in neutral while First’s in fifth gear right now it’s hard to believe that both Charlie and carot are over par for their final round still of the chip this to complete the up and down for birdie no problem

For Dy she’s seven under now another Fairway found for Lexi this 101 yards keep it left of the flag there’s a run off to the right of it it’s so good pin High missing in the right spots and close she’s hitting it so much closer than her playing Partners applying the

Pressure yeah you would think she’d be feeding the heat at this stage she seems to be just thriving in it from inside 100 yards online but twice as far away as Falin yeah every hole it feels like it’s firstling closest to the hole for a closing bird

Nadoo not to be but it’s going to be a a second top 10 on tour for the teenage French player final a 70 six under par birdie put for Zander on 13 this one is quick from right to left from above the hole you just can’t afford to go after it

Just one of those days where she just hasn’t been able to find her aame kyot seander winner in Florida a year ago one of only two players that year that finished under par just coming up Shy there Dy no one it feels charging it first ining and she seems to be just pushing

On Hull hasn’t made a birdie since the fourth hole that statistic remains now first then quickly in to look at her P she knows a real chance here on this back nine to make a big statement for another birdie this one inside the hole from left to

Right and she’s got it three clear of Brony law who’s in the clubhouse far ahead of anyone out on the golf course she’s looking the real deal how how’d you not get carried away at this stage she on a golf course where a playing Partners can’t seem to hit it

With inside inside 30 ft first Alin is tapping in from 6 feet and now Charlie Hall is four back with five to play yeah you thought coming into this final round with the lead she was the one to beat here’s the Swiss rookie Kiara tambellini at 17 from downtown Tampa

Looking for her second top 10 of the Season yeah sha and Kenya where she finished third seven under now for her and it’s been that kind of week for Lexi Thompson back to 5 under another Lexi stealing the headlines in Florida right now Mr Fairway on the par five had to

Lay up out of the bunker this to a back left pin how about this for distance control it’s Relentless it’s so good especially with the pressure of the situation it doesn’t look like it’s phasing her and if we thinking you know is there a mistake around the corner she’s only

Made two Bogies all week had 200 yards to the pin missed it right with this rescue plenty of green to work with on gorgeous by Charlie Hull well hopefully that will be a first birdie since that fourth hole for her well these two are following each

Other around the golf course we saw on nine that they both missed the Green in the same spot so Gander looking to take it slightly lower than Charlie did there now we know that now is the time it’s almost getting too late just for back-to-back birdies for the Indian open Champion alien crowter

She’s got it it’s under [Applause] now moving from right to left this one for a For well she’s missed one that was for three in a row so sander and Hall will get the chance to to close the gap a little she’s just playing better than them isn’t she though over to the 15 t pin location here good pass [Applause] save brother on the bag this week here’s

Uh anap Chino so the birdie p at 14 to come for sander and Hall this is to get back to level PA for the [Applause] round as mentioned Lexi fand is just outplaying carot zanda and Charlie Hull they do not have even their b games out there and she is pulling away from

Them well that’s one back isn’t it still a lot of work to do to put any real pressure on first link you have to wonder even with those birdies is there any catching Alexandra Lexi fing German in a fantastic position she leads by three with just four holes to

Play in this Arco team series presented by PF T Welcome back to the final round of the aramco team Series in Tampa where Charlie Hall came within centimeters of grabbing another much needed birdie not to be for the English woman at 15 she remained three behind it’s a commanding position for Lexi first today who started the day one back

But now leads the way by three with just three to play at Feather Sound Country Club Fairways and greens have been the story has she missed a fairway I can’t recall this is a front pin so she’s left herself a full shot in from 118 yards with it being downwind no wanted it as close as that on 16 different strategy though for ziganda

Trying to go high with this lob wood well we’ve seen the story a few times before haven’t we first in close sander and Charlie Hall normally as well a little further away pass since birdie 11 for p Chino just took an unfortunate kick there didn’t it left

Disappointed but uh signs are good she started working with a new coach this year for Parada here a huge three-wood but it hasn’t done herself any favors here 72 yards a Gand just canot stop him how That theme continues to keep that power run going nice safe yeah really well done goty for po opting to chip this one nice check sends it into the cup it might be too little too late but there is some magic still left in power SC well it gets her within three orbe it

First thing has a great look at birdie to come 72 Lexi Thompson finishing just outside the top 10 near never really made a run of it today did she two Bogies in her first five holes but another solid week well she thought she’d hit this one

Stiff and has now stood over 40 ft for birdie look how hard she has to hit it back into the wind back into the grain no wonder that pit shot did not stop yeah she still got bit of work to do for par first him remember got that great

Look at birdie oh now you see me now you don’t was 500 for the final round in Switzerland and mayorca she’s now 5 under par here in Tampa on repeat Lexi fing just easing it seems her way to Victory here in such esteemed company look at that scorecard remember 67’s the

Round of the day so far from Brony La she’s on course to match that first is just sucking life out of Charlie hall right now she remains in a share of second place but the Gap has Widened that’s a round of 71 for man and Dey her second top 10 of the Season L there is Shannon tan and Lexi Thompson tan the winner of the season opener in Kenya back left pin here on 17 Charlie can swing one in from right to

Left dialed in finally she gets one to stick close it’s again more trouble off the te had to lay out from the right hand side so this had third shot into the Par Four and you won’t be surprised to know Fairway found green found for nexi first

Inning up on the 18th green a birdie put from left to right what to be but that should be a closing par in around of 71 for Cru I assume will be sticking around to lead the potential set of vibrations for this lady played away from this pin there was

No point in taking on the water this one just needs cozy and down from right to left go go it’s hardly Panic stations but it’s got a bit of meat on that bone no birdie to close for po trino but third in Kenya now fourth as it stands

Here in Tampa with that final round 71 back up the hill the Ganda is going to fall back into to four spot alongside Anna po trino yeah that kind of day just chipped in at the last hole and immediately gives that shot back well Charlie hul knock this one in

Maybe put a little bit of pressure on first ining she’s asked one last question the 24y old Charlie Hull makes birdie on 17 so the lead back to three shots now firstling still has to hole out here for par there is some movement in this from right to

Left it’s a three shot lead to take to the 18th hole for the German who has been magnificent today Sara Kusa final hole of the day not her final put that’s two Bogies in the last three holes round of one overp par yeah costly finish in uh all sorts

Of ways isn’t it that for kuskova so the final three bow down 18 86% of Fairways this week for first Alin 135 yards pin on the right You’ expect this just to be left of of it it’s like computer game golf yeah never looked like faltering Lexi first job pretty much done

Now off the shoulder from right to left disappointment she had a chance to Defender Title Here at Feather Sound Country Club but it’s a last day 72 for carlot Sanda you can see you can hear the frustration it’s going to be second again it seems for Charlie

Hul good try but that’s seven runner up finishes now since her last win shows how consistent she’s playing top 10 of the world and you have to try and spin the positives from that three wins in her last 10 ladies European tour events for Lexi ferin no

Mistake even on the final hole and it’s going to be five under power on the final day again for victory like in newor and Switzerland not to be for Charlie Hal the frustrations continue even with the fine play 71 on Sunday not good enough to get it done what a

Performance out playing two of Europe’s finest that is top class from Lexi Fink and here they come her friends Emma Spitz Elaine crter and Kiara tambellini showing the youngsters how it’s done on the ladies European tour her third win in just 14 months as a professional golfer and in

The end you have to say a comfortable victory for first think three shots over Charlie Hall Lauren third poite trino sharing fourth with compatriot carot Canda Lexi Thompson ended in 11 spot for once overshadowed by her namesake Lexi fing who admitted afterwards a place in the solheim cup was on her

Mind yeah definitely I mean it would be a great honor to uh play in such a event like that and represent Europe and it would just be amazing and mean a lot to me yeah it’s becoming a very nice habit another trophy in the hands of Lexi fing

The much deserved 2024 aramco team series presented by PF tamper individual champion after a win in Morocco third place here Brony La jumps to the top of the order of Merit with firstling now in second a sixth place finish for Kiara tambellini moves her into second in the

Rookie of the Year race but shanon tan winner in Kenya remains in a dominant position this will make happy reading for Lexi fing her Victory puts her above Seline boutier on the L points list and into the automatic spots for the solheim cup way to go until that team is

Finalized though sadim bouttier Remains the highest ranked European in the Rolex world rankings but first thing moves into the top 100 with Victory here in Florida thanks for watching as Lexi fing shows her class in esteem company a star on the rise stay in touch at ladies europeantour.com until next time bye-bye for Now A
