Denmark

European amateur champion in 2013 and winner of the Women’s Amateur title at Royal St George's the following season, the Dane became Rookie of the Year on the Ladies European Tour in 2015 after twice finishing second and then capturing the Hero Indian Open.

Has since won four more times on the circuit and, having previously played in the Junior Ryder Cup and Junior Solheim Cup, she made her Solheim Cup debut in 2017 and in 2021 was one of Europe’s stars after topping the qualifying race.

Two wins alongside Charley Hull were followed by her being put in the anchor role for the singles by captain Catriona Matthew and her 12-foot birdie putt on the final green gave her victory over Danielle Kang and her side a thrilling 15-13 triumph.
