Women’s Open: Essex golfer Lily May Humphreys teeing off at ‘dream’ debut

A golfer who turned professional two years ago said it was a “dream” to be making her debut in the sport’s most elite competition.

Lily May Humphreys, 21, from Essex, is due to tee off at 11:32 BST in the Women’s Open at Walton Heath, Surrey, on Thursday.

“This is the dream growing up to play in the Open. You always watch it on telly and think you want to play,” she told the BBC.

“It all happened very quickly.”

Humphreys, from Great Cornard on the Essex-Suffolk border, first picked up a club at 10 years old and spent her junior years playing at Stoke by Nayland, near Colchester.
