The 11 sponsor invitations for the ISPS Handa Ladies British Masters have been announced ahead of the inaugural tournament taking place at Buckinghamshire Golf Club in Denham from August 16-18.
England’s Charley Hull is one of three of the victorious Great Britain and Ireland Curtis Cup Team to have booked her place in the tournament along with compatriot Holly Clyburn and Amy Boulden of Wales.
Hull was one of five amateurs to participate in the Kraft Nabisco Championship in California where she finished 38th with a score of one over par and she made her Ladies European Tour debut in Turkey in May, where she finished fifth with a score of one under par.
Whilst playing in her second Ladies European Tour event at the recent in the Irish Open, where she tied for 18th as the leading amateur, Hull said: “I think it’s really cool to be playing on home turf and it’s not that far from where I live. I play quite nearby at Woburn and I haven’t played at the Buckinghamshire before.”
Boulden, who also starred in the Curtis Cup, helping GB&I win the match for the first time since 1996, said: “I am very excited to be playing in this event. It’s going to be a great experience and a chance to test my game against the top professionals. My plan is to head to Tour school in December so this event will be great to get some valuable experience to take with me. I am looking forward to getting out there and competing.”
