AIG Women’s Open: Jacob Skov Olesen to caddy for Darcey Harry

The hope is that Olesen’s presence will bring more success as Harry plays just the second major of her fledgling career this week at the course she calls home.

Like Harry, Olesen is in his rookie year on tour having turned professional after coming through qualifying school.

He made quite a splash at the Open, shooting 67 on the first day to reach the top of the leaderboard.

Though he fell away in round two, Olesen made the cut and ended up 68th, which was a creditable return in what was just the second major of the 26-year-old’s career.

Now it is Harry preparing for her second major appearance having debuted at the Evian Championship earlier this month.

She missed the cut in France in what was her first time competing alongside the best players women’s golf has to offer.

But Harry is back home in positive mood after an encouraging display at last week’s Scottish Open, where she finished tied-38th in what was another high-class field.

“I am so excited,” Harry says.

“I just can’t really believe that I am going to be playing [in the Women’s Open at Porthcawl]. I can’t really put into words how much I am looking forward to it.”
