Noora Komulainen

The final stop on this eight-week stretch of the 2023 Ladies European Tour (LET) season is a trip to Finland.

Pickala Golf is the new venue for 2023 and is where the Ladies Open By Pickala Rock Resort will take place, which will see 126 players teeing it up in a 54-hole stroke play format.

After the first two rounds have been completed, there will be a cut to the top 60 professionals and ties with the winner being crowned on Saturday July 1.

It is the third consecutive the LET has returned to Finland with Matilda Castren and Anne-Charlotte Mora triumphing in 2021 and 2022, respectively.   

There will be no fewer than 14 Finnish players hoping to have success on home soil this week including Tiia Koivisto, who won the 2022 Jabra Ladies Open.

Koivisto is joined by compatriots Ursula Wikstrom, Sanna Nuutinen, Noora Komulainen as well as five Finnish amateurs.

France’s Anne-Charlotte Mora returns as defending champion having recorded a one-troke victory to secure her maiden LET title in 2022.

While there are also plenty of recent LET winners hoping to add another victory with last week’s champion Diksha Dagar teeing it up alongside Sweden’s Lisa Pettersson, Germany’s Patricia Isabel Schmidt, France’s Pauline Roussin and Czechia’s Kristyna Napoleaova.

There are three players from the top 10 in the 2023 Race to Costa del Sol vying to add more points to their tally with Dagar, Chiara Noja and Celine Herbin all entered.

While Thailand’s Trichat Cheenglab now leads the Rookie of the Year standings following her second-place finish.
