Rookie
of the year
Sweden’s Julia Engström crowned a
fantastic 2018 season by earning the
LET Rookie of the Year Award, as the
leading first year member.
The 17-year-old, who is still in her last
year of high school, studying law and
business , finished 17th on the Order
of Merit, ahead of second placed Manon
Mollé, in 20th position.
The highlights of her year included a
tied fifth place finish in the Lalla Meryem
Cup in Morocco, a tie for 13th in the
Lacoste Ladies Open de France and
a bronze medal in the European Mixed
Team Championships.
“This was my goal at the beginning of
the year and I worked really hard for it,
so I’m very happy,” said Engström, who
made her debut on the LET in the 2014
Helsingborg Masters as a 13-year-old.
