Former Faversham GC junior member Sian Evans will be playing on the Ladies’ European Tour next year after finishing fourth in the Final Qualifying tournament in Morocco this week.

The 27-year-old, who now who works full-time as a PGA professional at Kings Hill GC in West Malling, recorded a five-round 16-under-par total of 344, 10 shots behind the winner, fellow English woman Bronte Law.

Evans had set up a “Just Giving” page to fund her trip to Tour School and was slightly tearful after proving to herself that she could mix it with the best. She said: “This has literally the best week I could have asked for and I couldn’t have done it without my caddie, Jake. He’s been my rock this week.

“I’ve had loads of messages already and I’m so glad I’ve done everyone proud. “This means the world, it’s what everyone dreams of. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to do this and to shoot 16-under, it’s my lowest tournament score, so I’m just really happy.”
