GOING PRO
She turned professional at age 16 after she finished 11th at the final stage of the Ladies European Tour Qualifying School at La Manga Club in Murcia, Spain, in January 2020. "I always knew I wanted to be professional. It came a little sooner than I expected because LET moved the qualifiers from December [2019] to January [2020]. If it was in December, I wouldn't have been able to play because I was too young, but then in January I was 16 so we decided to give it a try. Once I finished 11th in the final stage, I knew I wanted to turn professional so there was never a question, I was always going to do it." At age 12 she played one event on the LET Access Series, a developmental tour for the Ladies European Tour. "Playing on the [LET Access] Series, it showed me that everyone was really nice and that it's not anything different than I used to play. It's still just a tournament. I'm really thankful that they got me prepared when I was an amateur so that I could see what the tour is like." (golfpunkhq.com, 07 Jun 2021; ladieseuropeantour.com, 08 Apr 2021)
