Golfer Tan embraces Major pressure

In her first Major of the 2025 season, the 21-year-old passed her first test by making the cut at the Evian Championship on July 11, after carding a three-under 68 in the second round to finish at one-under 141, three strokes fewer than the +2 cut line.

and a talent-packed field, and for Singaporean Shannon Tan, the chance to compete in such a high-pressure environment is something that she relishes.

Tan was tied-36th with seven others at two-under 211 after shooting a one-under 70 in the third round. She trailed co-leaders Cara Gainer (64) of England and Australia's Gabriela Ruffels (66) by nine strokes going into the final round on July 13.

"I really enjoy competing in a Major because these are the pinnacle events in women's golf, and just being here is such a privilege," said Tan, who is making her third Major appearance.

"The environment, the field, and the tougher course set-ups really push you to raise your game. It's intense, but that's what makes it so exciting."

The star power at the Majors is undeniable, and this week is no different, with the world's top 20 players part of the initial field of 132 at the US$8 million (S$10.3 million) tournament.
