Annabelle and her mother then traveled to Portmarnock Golf Club, in Dublin, Ireland to compete in the British Women’s Amateur. Last year, Annabelle finished runner-up. This year, Annabelle had another strong showing with her mother serving as her caddie. She advanced to the match play segment after finishing tied for 24th. She won the first three matches and advanced to the quarterfinals. Annabelle next faced Marie Eline Madsen from Denmark. After losing the opening two holes to trail by two holes, Annabelle bounced back to tie the match by winning the third and fourth holes. A loss at the seventh put her one down and she was never able to overcome that deficit, eventually losing the match 3 & 2. The eventual winner of the British Women’s Amateur was 22-year-old American Melanie Green of Medina, New York, a 2024 graduate of the University of South Florida in Tampa. Annabelle is scheduled to play in the Women’s Western Amateur in Chicago during the week of July 15 and the U.S. Women’s Amateur at Southern Hills in Tulsa, in early August. As for her professional golf ambitions, she will play in the Pre-Qualifying for the LPGA Tour, in mid-August in Palm Springs. She will also be in the field for the EPSON Tour’s Four Winds Invitational, in South Bend August 30-September 1.
