Burke and Parker will work well together this week. They should finish high on Sunday.

Recent Ladies European Tour winners Hannah Burke and believe that they can win the Mission Hills World Ladies Championship for England.

Parker, winner of the 2010 ABN AMRO Ladies Open and 2014 Ladies Italian Open, said: “I’m really excited about playing in the World Ladies Championship and can’t wait to tee it up at Mission Hills Dongguan Resort for the first time. I have enjoyed playing the tournament at Mission Hills Haikou in the past and looking forward to representing England again, this time with Hannah Burke. It’s not often you get the chance to play for your country as well as yourself, so hopefully it will be a great week for Team England and myself.”

Burke enjoyed her breakthrough win in the Tipsport Golf Masters in the Czech Republic last summer and is hungry for more success. She said: “Flory told me in Australia that I needed to hit the practice green because we’ve got a big match coming up. I’m practising hard this week so that I won’t let Flory down! I’m really looking forward to seeing a new Mission Hills course and a new part of China. The resort over in Hainan was absolutely stunning and we were very spoilt with the luxury hotel and immaculate golf course so I’m hoping for the same thing when we arrive in Dongguan.”

Look for Burke and Parker to deliver quality games that will challenge the top of the board.
