Carmen Alonso

The final three exempt places for the AIG Women’s Open were up for grabs in the Trust Golf Scottish Open at Dundonald Links on Sunday, and Alonso claimed the third of them.

Played on winning teams at the Junior Ryder Cup in 1999 and 2002 and also represented Europe at the 2002 Junior Solheim Cup.

Was a runner-up in the Girls' Amateur Championship and a semi-finalist at the Women’s Amateur, then after turning professional came second at the 2008 Italian Open.

Her first victory in the paid ranks, however, did not arrive until four years ago in the Czech Republic on the Ladies European Tour Access Series.
