NOBUHLE TO TAKE THE US BY STORM

MBABANE – Ace lady golfer Nobuhle Dlamini will leave for the United States of America in search of a card to compete in the celebrated Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour next year.


The Lobamba-born golfer will share the fairways with some of the world’s best in the Symetra Tour, which forms part of the LPGA Tour in the US. She tees off at the POC MED Golf Classic in Windsor, California on Friday next week.
Symetra is the official developmental golf tour of the LPGA. It affords players an opportunity to qualify for the LPGA top flight.


Dlamini, who  is a seasoned campaigner at the recently ended Sunshine Tour in South Africa, qualified for the Symetra Circuit in December last year after a successful stint at the tour school final in Florida. The 25-year-old, who is now based in Centurion, Gauteng, told the Sport24 website that playing golf in the US would boost her career.


“It feels great to be able to compete in the US. I’m looking forward to leaving a mark on the Symetra by winning all its events this season.
“It will be wonderful to graduate and compete in the big league, which is the LPGA tour next season,” said Dlamini.


The former South Africa’s number one female amateur golfer stressed on the need to shine to make amends for a disappointing campaign in the Ladies European Tour in the past years.
“This being my first time competing in the US obviously makes me nervous, but I am up to the task of making the grade and moving on to the big stage next season.”
