BIO

Alice started golf at the age of six with her Dad at Berkhamsted Golf Club. She used to walk the course with him just hitting a few chips and putts. She then started group junior lessons at Berkhamsted and played in her first tournament on her seventh birthday. Her first ever competitive shot was an air shot ? she says she completely missed the ball!

As she grew older, Alice started playing for Berkhamsted and then her county, Hertfordshire. She first entered the England set-up in regional sessions aged 12 after winning the England U13 championships. She was in the National U18 team aged 15. Her first GB&I cap came at age 15 in the Junior Vagliano Trophy. She was part of the victorious England team at the European Young Masters.

Alice represented England at the Junior European Team Championships twice and the Ladies' European teams five times. She was the only player to be part of both England teams to win the European Ladies' Team Championships in '16 and '17.

She played in three Ladies' Vagliano Trophies, two Curtis Cups and one Astor Salver and repesented England at the World Team Championships.

She attended Clemson University from 2015-2019 and studied Accounting with a minor in Legal Studies. She won her first two tournaments as a freshman, then won again in her junior and senior year. She currently holds 49 records at Clemson.

In 2019, she played in the inaugural Augusta Women's Amateur and came T10 shooting level-par in the round at Augusta National, carding double bogeys on holes 1 and 18! Also, in 2019 Alice won the European Ladies Amateur Championship, coming from seven shots behind in the final round. She made two eagles in that round and won in a five-hole playoff. The win qualified her into her first major, the AIG Women's British Open, being played at Woburn only 20 minutes from her house.

Alice was an England level swimmer and earned a silver medal in her age group at the National Championship aged 11. She represented her county and club multiple times and won the overall regional championships three times.
