West Kilbride's Louise Duncan will be facing off against the world elite on a weekly basis next year thanks to a determined display.


It comes after the talented 22 year old secured her Ladies European Tour card, at the first time of asking, for the 2023 season - in the most dramatic of fashion.
It was only a birdie on her 90th, and final, hole of the week which secured her spot on next season's main tour.
With the top 20 and ties from the five day tournament played at the South Course at La Manga - Louise pushed herself into a strong position heading into the latter stages of her final round.
Birdies at the second, eighth, ninth and 11th holes had her in a commanding position in the qualifying zone despite bogeys at the fifth and seventh until putting herself under massive pressure with a double-bogey at the 15th hole.
This meant she had to play the final three holes in one under par to secure that elusive tour card.
And pars at both 16 and 17 meant it all came down to the final hole - the par five 18th.
A great drive and solid second shot saw Louise 20 yards from the pin and in the bunker playing her third - knowing an up and down was needed.
Louise delivered, putting her bunker shot to within three feet and rolling home the putt, securing her Ladies European card in the process.
Louise admitted she had to overcome a difficult start.
She told the media that it wasn't the dream start and was concerned she'd be going to be on the plane home after the first two rounds of pre-qualifying.
However, after the second round of final qualifying, she shot four over and then five under so it gave her added belief to be in the top 20 at the end of the week.
Louise said: "It was unbelievable to get the job done."
