The Scottish team comes to the competition with a clear sense of purpose and ready to deliver their best games.

Sally Watson and Pamela Pretswell are representing Scotland in the World Ladies Championshipteam competition.

Pretswell finished sixth in the individual competition when it was staged at Mission Hills Resort Haikou last year and is feeling confident ahead of the fifth edition at a new venue.

The 26-year-old from Hamilton made a strong start to her 2016 campaign and was lying in a tie for third position heading into the final round of the ISPS HANDA New Zealand Women’s Open at Clearwater Golf Club in Christchurch before being forced to retire with a back injury after six holes on the Sunday.

However she recovered in time for the RACV Ladies Masters at Royal Pines in Queensland, where she was able to post an eighth place finish, moving into 23rd place on the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit.

"“I always love playing in China, but representing Scotland with Sally obviously makes the event even more exciting and we will do our best to raise the Saltire on Sunday evening.” – Pamela Pretswell"

Watson, who was also forced to withdraw from the ISPS HANDA New Zealand Women’s Open with a back injury, is looking forward to the challenge of playing on the Olazabal course for the first time.

If they’ve fully recovered from their back injuries the Scottish team will likely get a peek at the top of the board in both the individual stroke play and team competitions.
