Sharmila Nicollet hopeful of getting her LET card

21, Dec 2014: India’s Sharmila Nicollet made the cut at the Lalla Aicha Tour School final qualifying at Morocco. She now gets to keep a selective card to play on the Ladies European Tour for the next season under category 9b. Nicollet played a final round of 72 to end four over par 374, well inside the cut to finish 41st. The top 30 players obtain category 08a for the 2015 season, she will play on a card a notch below.

 

India’s other challenger Smriti Mehta withdrew after three rounds due to an allergy and severe elbow pain.

 

The players are joining the Ladies European Tour at an exciting time. In addition to a full schedule of events in 2015, The Solheim Cup will be taking place at Golf Club St Leon-Rot in Germany in September and this will be followed in 2016 by golf’s return to the Olympic Games.

 

Tarun Sardesai who caddied for Nicollet shared she was the most talented woman athlete to work for. “23 days of travel, 14 rounds of competitive golf, 18 days of caddying, seeing some of the new talent to enter the ladies European tour, watching Sharmila Nicollet play some really amazing golf in tough conditions, and eating the same breakfast every day. She finished 41st at q school to secure a 9b tour card exemption status. After the last 2 weeks I have no doubt that she is the most talented woman athlete that I have ever worked with.”
