There are 31 nationalities represented in the field with local favourite, Gemma Dryburgh heading Scotland’s home challenge.
Dryburgh, who claimed her first LPGA Tour victory last year at the TOTO Japan Classic, is as excited as ever to get the chance to compete so close to home, commenting: “It’s absolutely my favourite time of the year when I get to play in the UK and the Women’s Scottish Open is, of course, one of the highlights of my year. Last year I was honoured to win The Jock MacVicar award as the leading Scot and I would love to honour his memory by finishing even higher this year. I feel like my game is in a good spot at the moment and I just need to keep building my confidence and I think the perfect place to do this will be with the support of my family and friends, playing on the spectacular Dundonald Links.”
