The KPMG Women's Irish Open took place at the O'Meara Course in Carton House, County Kildare, Ireland, this year from August 29 to September 1, with the four-day event attracting over 30,000 golf fans to Ireland's most prestigious women's golf tournament.
Golfing talent like Alessandra Fanali, Georgia Hall and Leona Maguire took to the course and ultimately, it was Annabel Dimmock who came out on top as the tournament winner with a final score of 19 under par following a playoff against Pauline Roussin-Bouchard. Ursula Wikstrom finished third. This was the third play off in a row at the Irish Open and an exhilarating finish to the week. Congratulations to all on fantastic performances.
