Couldn'thave asked for anything better

History was always going to be made at the JordanMixed Open last weekend, but what a brilliantfew days it turned out to be. This was the first-everfull-field mixed professional tournament on tour withplayers from the Challenge Tour, Staysure Tour andLadies European Tour competing over 54 holes.

Heading into the final day, Englishwoman MeghanMacLaren held a two-shot lead thanks to consecutiverounds of seven-under-par and started Sunday in thesame rich vein of form, birding two of her first threeholes. In the end, MacLaren had to settle for secondplace as Challenge Tour player Daan Huizing conjuredup three late birdies to seal a two-stroke victory.

In what was a world-first, of the 66 players to makethe cut, 20 came from the Ladies European Tour, 21from the Staysure Seniors Tour and 25 from theChallenge Tour.

Anythingis possible for this golfer

MacLaren wasn’t the only story for women’sgolf last week, as the ANA Inspiration – thefirst LPGA Tour major of the season - took place inCalifornia. In desert heat that climbed into the 90s,Jin Young Ko finished three ahead of her nearestchallenger to secure her first major victory.

Jin Young’s rise to greatness has been impressive andthe 23-year-old is showing no signs of stopping now.Having finished second at the Women’s British Open atthe tender age of 20, she has gone on to win multipletitles and is the reigning Rookie of the Year. What astart to her career for this young woman.
