It was a clean weekend of golf for Mimi Rhodes of England. After setting the course record with a 62 during her second round, she followed up with two bogey-free rounds to close the weekend.

This win marks her first career win on the LET and her second as a professional. Rhodes turned pro in 2024 after a successful amateur career where she won the 2023 NCAA Division I Championship with Wake Forest. She earned eligibility for the 2025 season through the LET Qualifying School.
Although she was nervous during the round, Rhodes’ emotions changed after her win.
“Honestly still in shock but I’m so happy yeah I’ve worked really hard. I didn’t have a great week last week so I wasn’t really expecting much. Yeah, I went through a bit of a swing change and it obviously worked this week so yeah I’m just really happy,” she said
In the Ladies European Tour’s final tournament in Australia, Rhodes held off Kirsten Rudgeley and Alessandra Fanali for her first tour win. Last week’s winner, Manon de Roey, had a strong finish to her weekend, tying for ninth place.
The LET will be off next week as they prepare for the next stretch of golf in South Africa. The next tournament will be the Joburg Ladies Open, which will run from April 3rd to 6th.
