Another Danish player, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, was also in Tokyo and her T9 finish in the tournament means she has 69.08 points in fourth place; Germany’s Olivia Cowan is in fifth.
England’s Georgia Hall has gained points in recent weeks with fourth place at the Aramco Team Series – London, T6 at The Amundi Evian Championship and T7 at the Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande.
