It’s All Looking Rosey For Harriet As She Tees Up First Pro Event

One of the top Welsh amateur golfers is looking forward to teeing it up with some of the best women players in the UK at the Rose Ladies Series event in Kent this week.

Wales international Harriet Lockley, aged 15, will be playing in her first pro event and mixing with the likes of 2018 Ladies British Open champion Georgia Hall and fellow Solheim Cup player Charlie Hull

It will also be making history as the first ladies professional event to be held at Open Championship venue Royal St George’s on the Kent coast.

The Rose Ladies Series has been set up by former US Open champion Justin Rose and his wife Kate to provide professional competition for the ladies while events round the world have been cancelled because of coronavirus.

Welsh professionals Amy Boulden, Chloe Williams and Hannah Bowen will be in action. Wales international Ellen Nicholas will also be playing in the event, the fourth of eight scheduled in the Rose Ladies Series.

Lockley played in the Wales team at the European Girls Team Championships last year, won the Welsh Girls Stroke Play in 2018 and runner-up in the Welsh Girls Championship last year.
