Who made the grade at Ladies European Tour Q-School?
Twenty-two players secured their 2024 cards after coming through at Al Maaden Golf Marrakech. So who can we look forward to seeing next year?
Nataliya Guseva added to her freshly won LPGA Tour card by storming to victory at Ladies European Tour Q-School.
The 20-year-old shot a final round 69 and a 23-under-par total to win 2024 Lalla Aicha Q-School at Al Maaden Golf Marrakech by four shots.
“It’s crazy that I came here already with my LPGA Tour card and then just coming here and winning LET Q-School, it’s something I’ve always dreamed of,” she told the LET website.
She was one of 22 who came through five rounds to secure Category 12 membership and full status, with South Africa’s Cara Gorlei grabbing the runners-up spot, and Thailand’s Aunchisa Utama finishing in third.
Spain’s Luna Sobron Galmes overcame a difficult year of injuries to come home in fourth after a six-under-par closing round of 67.
She told the LET: “I’m happy with getting my LET status again. This was a difficult year because I had an injury, so I’m happy.
“I had a protrusion in my back. This was the first week that I was playing without medication so I’m very happy.”
Galmes was one of five Spaniards to come in the top 20 and ties and was joined by Fatima Fernandez Cano, Teresa Toscano, Teresa Diez Moliner and Paz Marfa Sans.
Three amateurs: England’s Annabell Fuller (tied 5th), Singapore’s Shannon Tan (tied 8th), and South Africa’s Danielle du Toit (tied 20th), also grabbed their cards.
