Women’s Golf: 10 to Watch in 2016
Nicole Broch Larsen is just emerging as a contender. Put her on your radar for 2016.
Nicole Broch Larsen started knocking on the door at the Buick Championship, where she finished in 3rd place. Heating up, she knocked again at the ISPS Handa Ladies European Masters and then a third time at the Pilsen Golf Masters. Then the young Dane kicked open the door, walked into the winner’s circle at the Helsingborg Open, and got her ticket punched to the Evian Championship.

Starting her third pro season in 2016, Larsen is just beginning to find her game, and I’lm looking for her to put that game to good use this season.
She and Emily Pedersen are currently the highest-ranked Danes in the IGF Olympic rankings, so in addition to the Women’s British Open and the Evian Championship, they will both have the opportunity to test their game during golf’s return to the global Olympic stage this year. Keep them on your radar.
