Malaysia's Ashley Lau is pretty satisfied with her T36 finish in the 35th European Ladies’ Amateur Championship in Paris, especially considering she had to manage some swing issues during the event which ended yesterday.

Lau carded rounds of 69, 73, 70 and 72 at Le Grand Parcours at Golf de Saint Germain for a four-under-par 284 total. 144 participants from 35 countries, including 21 of the world's top 100 amateurs, competed in the prestigious championship organised by the European Golf Association.

"I had trouble feeling my swing, it just felt a bit off ... so considering that, I'm pretty happy with the result. It was important to forget about everything and just focus on getting the ball in the hole instead of trying to be perfect," said the 22-year-old Lau, who had younger sister Adeline on the bag.

"It's always a challenge travelling to other countries to play. The food is not the same, the courses are not the same ... it's these little things that make it special," added the University of Michigan senior.

Lau's coach Fergal McGeown, who was on-site during the event, noted: "Without getting too deep into it, her right hand was in the wrong position. Such a small thing leads to lots of other issues.

"Ashley is so talented that she was able to adapt, but she wasn't striking it as good as usual. Changing a grip, though it's a small change, can be quite difficult to get used to, so I couldn't change it during the event ... I just stayed positive with her.

"At the end, we put in a few hours on the range and did some drills and took notes. It will take about a week for things to work, so we will be doing some video calls." elaborated McGeown.

The tournament was won by Belgian teenager Savannah De Bock, who edged England's Charlotte Heath in a playoff after both players finished regulation play tied on 19-under-par.

Next up for Lau will be Stage 1 of the 2022 LPGA Q-School, which takes place August 18-21 at Mission Hills Country Club and Shadow Ridge Golf Club in California.
