Akie Iwai

Akie and her twin sister Chisato are both in the field for Walton Heath having been inside the top 50 in the Rolex Rankings at the July 3 cut-off.

Akie Iwai took the 50th and last spot via that route, following a series of excellent performances on the LPGA Tour of Japan.

She recorded top-four finishes in five successive starts on the circuit either side of the US Women’s Open, and also won the KKT Cup Vantelin Ladies Open earlier in 2023.
