The LET summer run continues with the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open this week, now in its fourth year at Royal Beroun Golf Club in Beroun, just 30 minutes from central Prague.
Last year’s tournament saw Jana Melichova make history as the first Czech amateur to win on the LET, after securing a one-shot victory over compatriot Klara Davidson Spilkova and Nicole Broch Estrup.
Here are some talking points ahead of the tournament:
Czech Talent Aplenty
No fewer than 15 Czech players will be competing on home soil as they try to win their home tournament – the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open.
There were two Czech players in the top three last year, when Jana Melichova secured a one-shot victory over Klara Davidson Spilkova and Nicole Broch Estrup.
They are both playing well, with two-time LET winner Davidson Spilkova in fourth place on the Race to Costa del Sol, after five individual top-10 finishes so far this season.
They are joined by Krystina Napoleaova, who became a first-time winner on Sunday at the Amundi German Masters. She finished tied for 51st in the tournament in 2022 and equal 47th in 2021.
Don’t rule out Sara Kouskova, who won four titles on the LET Access Series last year, winning the Order of Merit, Rookie of the Year and Money List, securing her full LET card for 2023. She has already finished tied for 10th in the Aramco Team Series – Florida, which is surely a sign of great things to come.
Gainer Gaining Confidence
Third year LET member Cara Gainer earned her second runner-up spot in the Amundi German Masters last week, following on from a second place in the Mithra Belgian Ladies Open last year.
She carded four under-par rounds, shooting 68, 67, 18 and 71 to finish on 274, 14-under-par, tied with the eventual winner Krystina Napoleaova, who birdied the first play-off hole.
With her second-place finish, Gainer moved into the top 10 on the Race to Costa del Sol and she will be looking to carry that momentum into this week’s tournament.
Peláez Trivino Edges Closer to Number One Spot
The battle to finish at the top of the 2023 Race to Costa del Sol continues this week with six of the top 10 teeing it up in Czechia.
Ana Peláez Trivino sits only 3.47 points behind leader Aditi Ashok and will be able to overtake her and become the new number one if she finishes in 62nd or better this week.
She is not the only player vying for that top spot. With 500 points available for a win and 320 points for second position, Klara…
