The 2023 Ladies European Tour (LET) season is set to resume next week with the Jabra Ladies Open after a break over the last few weeks.
It was a busy start to the year with six tournaments taking place in February and March and there have been different winners at each one.
Before the LET gets going again, let’s get you up to speed on what happened earlier this year…
Magical Kenya Ladies Open
Vipingo Ridge in Kilifi County, Kenya
February 2-5, 2023
India’s Aditi Ashok triumphed at the 2023 Magical Kenya Ladies Open winning the tournament by nine shots to secure her fourth LET title. The two-time Olympian produced the wire-to-wire victory at Vipingo Ridge where a round of 74 (+1) on the final day was enough to win. It was Ashok’s first trip to the winner’s circle on the LET since 2017 and she had her father Gudlamani on the bag throughout the week.
Ashok said: “It has been a great week, it’s proof to myself that my off-season and hard work has paid off. I think that hole [the eighth] doesn’t suit my eye so I didn’t play it that well today, but after that I think I got back into my rhythm and just kept hitting fairways and greens. The last few holes, I didn’t make many good swings but it’s okay, I guess! That was cool to have the giraffes there, it’s definitely different and part of the experience of playing in Kenya.”
Lalla Meryem Cup
Royal Golf Dar Es Salam (Blue Course), Rabat, Morocco
February 9-11, 2023
Sweden’s Maja Stark saw off a star-studded leaderboard to win by four shots at the Lalla Meryem Cup and land a sixth LET title. The Swedish star led going into the final round but had to see off a fierce comeback from compatriot Linn Grant, who finished second, and India’s Aditi Ashok to triumph by four shots in Morocco.
Stark said: “I was very nervous for the whole round. I get a little bit passive when people are catching up so that wasn’t the best thing in the world. The birdie on 14 was important because I could see Linn was making some birdies. I try not to look at the scoreboard, but I could see her draining putts and I thought ‘shoot I really need to keep going!’ Making that putt then gave me a little bit more momentum. I just kept going, kept being aggressive, and in the end, I think that’s what’s did it.”
