The Great Britain and Ireland team are making their final preparations for the Curtis Cup that gets underway at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club, near Dublin, tomorrow.
Amongst those who will be making their GB&I debuts is Yorkshire’s Rochelle Morris who qualified for the team via the LGU Order of Merit.
Her Curtis Cup selection comes off the back of a strong season last year, which included a number of second place finishes. Still awaiting her first big title, Morris finished runner-up in both the English Women’s Amateur Championship at Hunstanton and the English Women’s Open Stroke Play Championship at St Anne’s Old Links. She has continued this form into the early part of this season finishing second in the Leveret, at Formby Ladies Golf Club as well as reaching the matchplay stages of the French U21 championship.
The twenty-year-old is one of five of English players in the team, alongside Alice Hewson, Meghan MacLaren, Charlotte Thomas and Bronte Law, and the event will undoubtedly mark the biggest moment of her young career.
Earlier this week Morris, a former Yorkshire champion, was given Honorary Membership of the Yorkshire Ladies County Golf Association ahead of the event.
