Two of Australia’s best young golfers will take the plunge into the professional ranks when the Webex Players Series South Australia tournament tees off at Willunga Golf Course on Thursday.
The win was Uribe’s first since 2011, with the 14-year LPGA veteran already calling this year her last on tour. Her final goal, however, is to make the Olympics, and with this victory, she believes she’s all but assured herself a plane ticket to Paris.
The final day was all about Korea, with Oh, Hyosong Lee, and Shihyun Kim combining for an incredible 11-under-par last round to seal an impressive victory.
Young guns Justice Bosio (Queensland) and Caitlin Peirce (SA) are joined by veteran Victorian Sue Wooster, who at 61 is the oldest player in the field.
Seven world-class female professionals will join four of the top amateurs in Australia in the field for the ground-breaking The Athena tournament next month in Melbourne
Yoon has joined the elite company of Hannah Green (TPS Murray River last year) and Linn Grant (the DP World Tour’s Scandinavian Mixed event last year) as the only women to triumph in a 72-hole professional mixed-gender tournament.
Bosio knew what it might be in her letterbox. A while back, she received an e-mail from the organisers of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur to say that there was a chance that she would be among this year’s invitees.
