Rising Welsh star Harry relishes major challenge
Darcey Harry came through qualifying school last December to claim a place on the Ladies European Tour [Getty Images] Welsh golfer Darcey Harry is "super nervous" but relishing another step up in class as she prepares for this week's Evian Championship. Harry makes her major tournament debut in France having qualified thanks to her fine form in her rookie season on the Ladies European Tour (LET). Advertisement The 22-year-old only turned professional last year in order to try her luck in LET qualifying school, where she finished second to claim her card for 2025. She already has an LET title to her name, having won the Hulencourt Women's Open last month, with two further top-10 finishes helping her seal a place at the Evian Championship. Harry's tour victory also guarantees her a spot in the Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl - where she is a member - starting on 31 July. "I never thought in my rookie year I'd be getting into a major, let alone two majors and one at my home course," Harry said. Advertisement "I am definitely super nervous. I have not played a major before so I don't really know what to expect. "But I'm looking forward to a new challenge and to see how it is out there." Harry, from Dinas Powys, triumphed by three shots at the Hulencourt Women's Open, which was staged in Belgium. It was just the eighth LET event for a player who gave a glimpse of her potential by finishing sixth in only her second event at the level, the Australian Women's Classic. Harry also finished fourth at the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open - which came immediately after her victory in Belgium – with a five-foot putt on the last ensuring that she had enough ranking points to claim her Evian Championship place. Advertisement "That was a really nice finish," Harry said. "It was really nice to see that I didn't just go and crumble after the win. My confidence levels are nice and high now and I've been given the encouragement to keep going." Harry's promising start to life on the LET continued with a 17th-placed finish at last week's Irish Open. At the Evian Resort this week, Harry will play alongside Thailand's Pajaree Anannarukarn and Germany's Helen Briem - with her first round beginning at 08:48 BST on Thursday. Her goal is to claim a place on America's LPGA Tour – and this week will offer a first chance to compete with many of the star names who are based on the other side of the Atlantic. Advertisement "I am looking forward to seeing what the next level is for me," Harry said. "I've not played against a lot of LPGA players before. That is my dream, to be on the LPGA, so it will be learning curve for me, a chance to see what I need to improve to compete against them."
