Don’t discount the French team – Nocera is a solid golfer and a fierce competitor.

Gwladys Nocera and Céline Herbin are looking forward to pairing up for France in the fifth edition of the World Ladies Championship.

In light head of their recent victories in the 2015 Lalla Meryem Cup and Lacoste Ladies Open de France respectively, the pair are feeling confident in their bid to become the first Frenchwomen to win the trophy.

Four-time Solheim Cup player Nocera, who earned her 14^th Ladies European Tour title 12 months ago in Morocco, will be making her fifth appearance in the World Ladies Championship, albeit at a new venue, as the tournament has moved from Haikou.

The 2008 Order of Merit winner will be joined at Mission Hills by her compatriot Herbin, who will be playing in the event for a second time.

Nocera feels optimistic about their prospects this week.

"“I feel like we both have a really good shot in both the individual and team competitions, but we are particularly passionate about representing France. Obviously there are some other great players too but I am very much looking forward to the challenge of the Olazabal course.” – Gwladys Nocera"

Look for the Frenchwomen to contend in both events.
