LET RETURNS TO CZECHIA FOR TIPSPORT CZECH LADIES OPEN

The Ladies European Tour (LET) is back in Czechia this week for the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open, the seventh event in an eight-week stretch of tournaments. 

Royal Beroun Golf Club hosts the tournament for the fourth consecutive year, following victories by Emily Kristine Pedersen of Denmark, Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand, and Czech amateur Jana Melichova in the last three years respectively.

A field of 126 players will take the course this week in a 54-hole stroke play format where there will be a cut after 36 holes to the top 60 professionals and ties.

A whole host of home favourites are in town ready to play in front of a home crowd including last week’s LET winner Krystina Napoleaova, who clinched her maiden LET title at the Amundi German Masters at Golf & Country Club Seddiner See on Sunday. The former AC Sparta Praha footballer will be hoping to continue her recent success at home.

Klara Davidson Spilkova finished as the second top Czech player in the 2022 edition coming up just one shot short to tie for second place and she is back hoping to go one better and claim her third LET title, following her second win in the KPMG Women’s Irish Open last year. She is fourth in the Race to Costa del Sol and could go to the top with a win or a second place finish this week, depending on how Spain’s Ana Peláez Trivino does. The young Spanish star has the opportunity to overtake leader Aditi Ashok by effectively making the cut, finishing in 62nd place or better.

LET winners Lisa Pettersson, Patricia Isabel Schmidt and Lily May Humphreys are also in Beroun and looking to impress with more victories in 2023.
