Pro female golfer Lejan Lewthwaite has spoken about her sublime form in this year’s Ladies Sunshine Tour where she has already won two of the four tournaments that have taken place so far on the 2020 Tour.
Lewthwaite claimed her first tournament victory at the Sun City Challenge in early February, following that up last weekend with an eight-shot win at the Dimension Data Ladies Pro-Am.
The 28-year-old, who currently leads the Order of Merit rankings, is set to win a whopping R100 000 bonus in addition to the total prize money of R6 million on offer for this year’s tour, provided she remains on top of the standings.
Lewthwaite says her experience on the European Ladies Tour last year has helped her improve her short game.
With the Ladies Sunshine in full swing, Lewthwaite has her hands full. The 2019 Masters winner plays the Serengeti Challenge this weekend before going for the much anticipated Joburg Open next week.
Lewthwaite says she is looking forward to the Investec SA Women’s Open which is set for mid-March and will be the showdown event of the tour.
