Now, Rydqvist will turn her attention to St. Andrews as she makes her debut in the AIG Women's Open
Louise Rydqvist is the 2024 European Ladies’ Amateur Champion. The Swede emerged victorious from a battle with Meja Örtengren and Andrea Revuelta in the final round, to finally raise the trophy on what was most probably her last opportunity.
Playing in the last group with her Swedish compatriot, Meja Örtengren was also quickly off the mark with birdies on 1 and 5.
But Revuelta and Örtengren had to go through a birdie drought on the back-9, which only ended for both players on the last green. The Spaniard was able to clinch the silver medal, as Örtengren secured bronze.
Still sitting on top through nine holes, Louise Rydqvist eventually pulled away from the bunch with birdies on 13 and 16. A two-shot advantage over Revuelta through 17 meant she could enjoy her walk down the last fairway.
She concluded the Championship with an ultimate birdie, winning at 14-under-par by three strokes.
Louise Rydqvist’s return to South Carolina University will have to suffer a slight delay this year. On the 22nd of August, she will make her maiden Major appearance in the AIG Women’s Open at St Andrews.
