Harry said: “This week will certainly be one of the most scary weeks for me, so I need someone on the bag that will make me laugh and make me think of all the distractions,” she said.
Although always supports each other, the sports pair cannot help their competitive nature to enter their relationship.

For Harry, having a sea of Welsh support is not something that she is always used to. “I think it’s definitely a first for me to have so many people who come to watch, which will be really nice,” she said.

“I want to come here and really appreciate it and make sure there is a smile on my face 24/7 because I don’t think a major will never be played on my home career, so really enjoy the moment when I am here.”
Dinas Powys’ daughter was categorical, she wants her colleagues players to fall in love with breathtaking views and unique Welsh culture.
Asked the best song about the course, she said: “I really think it’s the views, you can see the ocean of almost the 18 holes on the site and many people have given a lot of comments on the way Welsh are friendly, so it’s really good for everyone to have an overview of Welsh culture, which is really huge for Wales.”
The golfer said that she had already had excellent comments from other golfers on the course and was happy that they found it difficult, conceding that you don’t want someone to come on your journey and find it easy.

Far from the golf course, she studied the sciences and equine affairs at the Royal Agricultural University and her love of horses continues today. She has her own competitive horse which is based in Cotswolds and hopes to get another in the future. “He participates in each season, he is an event, so he is an athlete like me and has contributed throughout the summer,” she said.
“I really appreciate, once I have finished golf, to have something else to do and make me hear the bad game, a good game, it’s just a nice deactivation for me,” she added.
Harry will not be the only Welsh representation in the tournament this week while Lydia Hall qualified for Pyle and Kenfig, nearby, during the final qualifications. The former winner of the British masters of women Isps Handa is from Bridgend and before becoming a professional, the Royal Porthcawl was his home career.
