Georgia Oboh becomes a full member of the Ladies European Tour (LET) and thereby is the first and youngest Nigerian to accomplish the historic feat.
The 17-year-old carded 72 on the fourth day of the LET Qualifying School at the Lalla Aicha Tour School at Amelkis Golf Club in Casablanca, Morocco to make the top 60 from the field of 115 competing at the Q –School.
The qualification will accord her with playing privileges for the 2019 season.
Her father, Godfrey Oboh stated:
“I thank all the people that have supported and prayed for Georgia, I can’t describe my joy at this moment. I am overwhelmed that finally she is now a full member of Ladies European Tour.”
She is the second youngest player in the competition behind Japan’s Rina Tatematsu.
“I am happy my dream of starting my career on the European Tour has become a reality. This will surely give me the opportunity to play with the best golfers in the world.
I thank God and I am grateful to my family and supporters for their prayers and encouragement since I started this journey.
The first day was full of ups and downs for me but I believe I played much better on the second day. It was indeed an improved outing on the third day and the final day was a bit better despite starting with the first tee-off on a lake.”
