BEVERIDGE BUOYANT AFTER RECENT RED-HOT FORM

BEVERIDGE BUOYANT AFTER RECENT RED-HOT FORM

If you’d have told Laura Beveridge at the end of last year that she’d be competing for LET titles with Solheim Cup stars she’d have more than likely not believed you. 

After shooting an open round score of 82 at 2021 Q-School it looked as if her hopes of an LET card were in tatters last December, before storming back to seal a T19 finish on the final day to earn herself playing rights for the season. 

And after getting through by the skin of her teeth the 33-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the 2022 season, with consecutive career-best finishes on the LET in her previous two events heading into the Big Green Egg Open this week. 

A T4 finish at the Amundi German Masters was followed up with a runners-up spot at the Estrella Damm Ladies Open last time out, as she finished behind Solheim Cup star Carlota Ciganda by two shots in Spain. 

And after such a dramatic turnaround in fortunes, the Scot is eager to keep her impressive run of form going in the Netherlands this week, and continue a run of eleven consecutive rounds under par. 

“I’m just a bit more comfortable on the golf course, and if it happens this week again that would be great,” Beveridge said. 

“It feels like I’m meant to be here, I’ve been on and off the LET for a number of years, and there have been spells where I played good, but never a run like this. I’ve had good rounds but never complete tournaments, so it’s nice and it feels like I’m supposed to be here. 

“It was a bit surreal being second to Carlota Ciganda and I’m in the photos next to her at the end as well, I played against her in the European Amateurs when I was about 18, and since then she’s always been someone that I’ve aspired to be like, so it’s a bit surreal that I finished two shots behind her in the final day. 

“I didn’t even look at numbers, I didn’t realise I’d shot back-to-back 66s over the weekend, we were just trying to make birdies, but at the end it really sank in.”

After a number of years splitting her time between the Ladies European Tour and the LET Access Series, Beveridge earned herself full playing rights for the 2020 season with a fourth-placed finish on the LETAS Order of Merit. 

And after a Covid-19 disrupted season, the Scot also featured heavily in 2021, with a T30 finish at the Creekhouse Ladies Open the highlight of the year,…
