“There are so many girls in the England team and it’s neck-and-neck to get in. The competition has pushed us all on.

“I play at Wentworth, which is lovely! Sometimes it’s such a slog around the West Course off the whites, but when you get to competitions you feel so much more confident about everything because you’ve been practising on a tougher course.
