The three-day, 54-hole event features players with handicaps ranging from one to +5 and runs until Sunday.<\/p>\n

It was first played at Fulford, York,, external<\/span><\/a> in 2018, introduced as part of The R&A’s drive to boost the girls’ game in Great Britain and Ireland and provide a pathway to the elite amateur level for leading young players.<\/p>\n

Ria Prabhakar, 15, from West Essex Golf Club, said: “It is the biggest event I will play in all year.<\/p>\n

“I hope to turn professional one day and play on the LPGA Tour. It has been the dream, ever since I started playing golf as a four-year-old.”<\/p>\n

Fellow Essex player Emily Dixon, 15, is also playing in the tournament for the final time. She said she was very excited and hoping to win.<\/p>\n

“I hope to be the best of the best. I want to be like Tiger Woods, but obviously the girl version of him,” said the Southend golfer, who plays off a handicap of 0.2.<\/p>\n

“One day, I hope young girls can look up to me. Golf is such a great family sport. It is outside; you get to see and play with all your friends. I would love to make a career of it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
