The Ladies European Tour returns to Europe this week, as 132 players get ready to tee it up at the Jabra Ladies Open Presented by Bitstamp.
Situated in the picturesque Evian Resort Golf Club on the banks of Lake Geneva, the French destination will see the LET stars compete for a €250,000 purse over 54 holes from Thursday to Saturday this week.
2021 winner Pia Babnik will be back to try to defend her crown, which she won in a playoff against 2020 champion Annabel Dimmock last time around, with Dimmock also in the field once again this week.
2010 Order of Merit winner Lee-Anne Pace will also be looking to challenge at the top of the leaderboard, with the South African hoping to add to her 11 LET tournament victories in her career.
Pace has already tasted success this year at the Investec South African Women’s Open, and there will be a further five 2022 winners in the field, with last week’s Aramco Team Series -Bangkok winner Manon De Roey also in the field.
Meghan MacLaren (Australian Women’s Classic) and Maja Stark (Women’s NSW Open) will also be looking to make it two wins for the season, as will Linn Grant, who took the spoils at the Joburg Ladies Open back in March.
Ana Peláez also tasted success at the Comunidad De Madrid Ladies Open two weeks ago, and the Spaniard will be looking to continue her good form after a top ten finish in Thailand last time out to follow it up.
Three of the 2021 Race to Costa Del Sol top five will be in action this week, with runner-up Babnik joined by Steph Kyriacou, who finished in third last year and Sanna Nuutinen who finished in fourth.
Johanna Gustavsson comes into the week off the back of a third second-place finish of the season is Bangkok, with the Swede also finishing as runner-up at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International earlier in the year, as well as at the Women’s NSW Open.
There will also be a number of former Solheim Cup stars taking to the tee boxes in Evian-les-Bains, with 2019 star Anne Van Dam in the field, as well as Florentyna Parker, who represented the blue and gold in 2017, and four-time selection Caroline Hedwall.
