An incredible 16-year-old golfing star from Gateshead has been invited to her first-ever Ladies European Tour which is being held in Belgium. Faye Wheatley started playing golf at the age of just 10 following in her grandad and uncle's footsteps.
The talented youngster became the 25th Faldo Series Europe Grand Final winner in 2021 and was recently invited to play in her first-ever Ladies European Tour event by professional golfer Sir Nick Faldo. He launched the Faldo Series in 1996 to provide opportunities to young golfers under the age of 21.
And after dominating the Faldo Series, Faye has her sights set on the Belgian Open which is taking place at the Naxhelet Golf Club in Belgium from May 27 to May 29, 2022. There she will compete alongside some of the best players on tour, including golfing legends such as Dame Laura Davies and Trish Johnson.
