Minchinhampton's Charlotte Ellis is currently in second place at the Ricoh Women's British Open.
Having birdied three out of her first four holes, she stands one shot adrift from world number one, Lydia Ko.
The biggest tournament in women's golf is being held at Turnberry this year and holds a £2m prize fund.
Last Monday morning, she faced watching the Open on TV – by the evening she had earned a deserved place in the field by topping the final Open qualifying event with a scintillating five-under par round of 69 at Ayrshire.
