December 3, 2013. Age is no bar for those who believe in strength of spirit. Greatest English golfer Laura Davies turned 50 and still on a look out for her next trophy. The winner of more than 80 titles around the world believes that more will come, especially if she can improve her pace putting this week in Dubai.
“I never look back. All I want to do is win my next tournament,” said Davies ahead of the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, starting on Wednesday at Emirates Golf Club.
“I remember what my last tournament win was, but I want to know what my next one is. I see myself playing golf for another five or six years, trying to win tournaments. If I had a goal it would be to win a major championship because that would get me into the Hall of Fame.

With 25 Hall of Fame points, Davies needs to win two more LPGA events — or one major championship — to gain the 27 points needed to qualify for induction as an active tour member.
“I really want to win more on the LPGA Tour, but I haven’t got close to winning an event for nearly 18 months. I need to be consistent in putting and that has been my goal. I am not going to give up any way – shape or form,” said Davies, one of the most outspoken and fun-loving and entertaining golfers in women’s golf.
Davies has experienced the change in the face of women’s golf in the past few years. She believes Lydia Ko of New Zealand, compatriot Charley Hull and Shanshan Feng are the players to watch out for.
Davies hopes that Hull will earn her breakthrough victory “sooner rather than later,” although, “not at my expense!” and believes that defending champion Shanshan Feng from China is the player to watch this week.
