Stephanie Meadow secured her place in this week’s AIG Women’s Open after coming through a twelve player playoff for just three spots in the field at St Andrews.
Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Meadow and Ursula Wikstrom prevailed to book their place in the field at the home of golf.
A field of 92 players competed over 18 holes of the Craighead links at Crail Golfing Society and it was Weiwei Zhang of China who led the qualifiers after posting a five-under-par 67 that included four birdies and an eagle at the par-5 8th hole.
The 27-year-old finished one shot ahead of Casandra Alexander, Annabell Fuller, Kristen Gillman and Emma Grechi, who all carded a four-under-par 68 to finish in a tie for second place.
Two shots further back in a tie for sixth place on two-under-par 70 were Lauren Hartlage, Noora Komulainen, Lee-Anne Pace and Patricia Schmidt.
The 2024 AIG Women’s Open takes place at the world-renowned Old Course in St Andrews from 21-25 August with a field of 144 players competing for the coveted title.
