Melbourne, Australia: Jazy Roberts, Rachel Lee and Sarah Hammett will represent Australia at the 45th Queen Sirikit Cup.
Officially known as the Amateur Ladies Asia-Pacific Invitational Golf Team Championship, the Queen Sirikit Cup has been a stepping-stone to golfing fame and fortune for some of the world’s best women golfers, including Australian Major champions Karrie Webb, Hannah Green and Minjee Lee.
Held at Clearwater Golf Club in New Zealand last year, Queenslander Hammett led the Australian team valiantly. While Hammett finished second individually, Australia had to settle for third place in the team event in which Korea claimed the country’s 23rd title.
At the Tom Watson Golf Course at the Phoenix Seagaia Resort in Japan from May 16-18, Hammett, Roberts and Lee will be aiming to deliver a first Australian triumph in the 13-nation event since 2013.
As the reigning adidas Australian Amateur champion, New South Wales’ Lee comes into the team with good form, also securing a win at recent Concord Cup.
Hammett is Australia's highest ranked woman on the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) in 94th place. She was runner-up to Lee at January’s adidas Australian Amateur.
Hammett and Victorian Roberts were part of the Australian contingent that participated in the seventh Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific in Vietnam in March, where Roberts finished in a share of fourth.
Hammett, Roberts and Lee are all part of their respective 2025 Golf Australia State High Performance Squads. Furthermore, Hammett and Roberts are this year’s Karrie Webb Scholarship recipients.
