In the Women’s Championship both Minjee Lee (4th in Rolex World Rankings) and Hannah Green (20th in Rolex World Rankings) will be amongst the favourites to take the 2022 title whilst Maddison Hinson-Tolchard will be keen to use all her experience gained in the US and at the World Amateur Team Championships (WATC).
