Welcome to this week’s episode of PaddyTalks Golf Podcast and official podcast partner of the KPMG Women’s Irish Open.

I took some time with rising star in Irish golf, Lauren Walsh who is no stranger to this podcast and known for her impressive achievements both as an amateur and a young professional. Born in County Kildare, Ireland, Walsh developed her skills early at Castlewarden Golf Club before becoming a standout player at Wake Forest University in the United States, where she earned All-American honours and contributed significantly to her team’s successes in NCAA competitions.

Walsh has represented Ireland in various international events, including the Curtis Cup and the European Ladies’ Team Championship, where she showcased her talent and leadership. She turned professional in 2023, making an immediate impact on the Ladies European Tour. Walsh is known for her consistent play, strong ball-striking, and calm demeanour on the course, which have quickly made her a player to watch in women’s golf and is a contender for Rookie of the Year honours on the Ladies European Tour. 

As Lauren makes her debut at this week’s KPMG Women’s Irish Open, Walsh has the talent and composure to be a contender, and a strong performance could further solidify her status as one of Ireland’s most promising young golfers.

It is a record Irish presence at this week’s KPMG Women’s Irish Open. Five professionals, led by Solheim Cup star Leona Maguire, will be joined by eight amateurs. 

Elm Park’s Anna Foster and Lurgan’s Annabel Wilson will be making their professional debuts on the O’Meara Course alongside Maguire, Olivia Mehaffey, and Carton House’s touring professional Lauren Walsh, who is a contender for Rookie of the Year honours on the LET.

Amateurs Emma Fleming, Kate Lanigan, Olivia Costello and Aideen Walsh make their second Irish Open appearances this year after playing at Dromoland Castle in 2023 and they will have competition for low amateur honours from Roisin Scanlon, Kate Dillon, Canice Screene and Anna Abom.
