Positives for Tan Ahead of Major

A second-placed finish at the Jabra Ladies Open in France on May 24 has given Singaporean golfer Shannon Tan a boost ahead of the July 10-13 Evian Championship, her first Major of the 2025 season.

With both tournaments played at the Evian Resort Golf Club's The Champions Course in Evian-les-Bains, the 21-year-old is excited to return to the venue after a creditable showing this week.

Her confidence stems from a remarkable comeback on the final day of the €300,000 ($440,000) Jabra Ladies Open, as she carded a three-under 68 in the third round of the event for an eight-under 205 total, two strokes behind champion Sara Kouskova (67) of the Czech Republic.

Pleased with how she handled herself mentally, the world No. 126 said: "Overall I am proud of the way I played this week.

"It is always nice to be in contention and while I missed out on the win here, there are positives to take away.

"I struggled on this course in my rookie year last year and finished tied-54th, so to be where I am today feels like a massive improvement which I can be proud of."
