The teenager in Northern Ireland, Beth Coulter, says that it will be “an experience” to play Augusta National.
The 19 year old man from County Down Tee Tee will go to the prestigious course that welcomes masters each year when she participates in the national amateur of Augusta women next month.
The invitation, won by England Lottie Woad last year, will be staged for the sixth time from April 2 to 5 and brings together an international field of 72 of the best fans of the game.
“I was so excited. I mean, it is something that I have been impatiently waited and that I worked very hard in the last three or four years,” said Coulter.
“Tas of non-Golfers even know what it is. Many of my friends do not play golf, but they know Augusta and they look at the masters.
“I think even being there will be really, really cool. It’s a more experience than anything.”
The American Jennifer Kupcho, who won the Chevron 2022 championship, is a former 54 -hole event champion.
“This is one of the best world tournaments right now for women’s golfers,” added Coulter.
“Even obtaining the invitation means that you are in the 50 or 60 players in the world.
“To do it there, to compete and pass from family and friends – I am delighted to get there and do it already.”
The increase in cutting in amateur rows was rapid. Last year, she was part of the Victorious Curtis Cup team, an event that still propelled her name under the spotlight.
Thinking about the impact, Coulter thinks that the exhibition has been positive for sport.
“The Curtis Cup being on television and begins to obtain more presence in the media, I say to myself:” Oh, it’s very weird. “And then when I come home and see the highlights of the BBC, I say to myself:” It’s actually we “.
“Put the female golf there, golf girls, it was really, really good for sport and that gives us such a platform.”
