Davies determined to bounce back

England’s Laura Davies is looking to erase one of the lowest points of her career last week by bouncing back to form at the UNIQA Ladies Golf Open in Austria, starting tomorrow.

The 43-year-old missed her first cut in a purely Ladies European Tour event in more than two decades at last week’s Ladies Scottish Open after a second-round 82.

“Last week was a weird week,” said Davies, a 35-time LET winner and England’s most successful female golfer.

“It was the first cut I missed on the Ladies European Tour for 21 years (it was not a co-sanctioned event). Obviously that’s a bit of a low point.

“But it’s just one tournament, you have got to forget about that and get on with it.”

Davies’ fellow Solheim Cup team-mates Bettina Hauert, the current money list leader, and Sophie Gustafson, the defending champion in Austria, Trish Johnson, Iben Tinning and Wales’ Becky Brewerton are also in the field this week.
