BIG WEEK FOR HEATHER MACRAE AND HER RIVALS FOR PROMOTION TO LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR

NEWS RELEASE FROM THE LET ACCESS SERIES
By VANESSA VIGNALI
The LET Access Series reaches its climax at this week's Mineks Ladies Classic, which tees off at the National Golf Club, Antalya on southern Turkey's Mediterranean coastline.

The 54-hole event will be a key tournament for many of the players in the field and will decide their plans for next season. Five cards on the Ladies European Tour for 2014 and fifteen places to the final stage of LET Tour School 
are at stake.
Spain’s *Mireia Prat* has already guaranteed her place amongst the stars of the Ladies European Tour next season and with her fabulous performance over this year, two wins and a further six top five finishes, Prat has also secured her 
place at the top of the  LETAS Order of Merit.
Fellow countrywoman, Patricia Sanz Barrio, along with Denmark’s Nicole Broch Larsen are also assured of their places on the LET for next season, but the remaining two cards are still wide open and there is all to play for.
Twelve players are in contention to finish in the top 5 places, with Fabienne In-Albon from Switzerland and Scotland’s Heather Macrae currently occupying the final two spots. 

Heather is pictured above with the Paul Lawrie Scottish Ladies Tour Championship trophy she won at Dalmahoy, Edinburgh in October. 

The winner of the Turkish event this week will earn 5,000 points so there is the possibility for many changes in the next few days.
With the Lalla Aicha Tour School Pre-Qualifying taking place in Rabat, Morocco over the next two weeks, there are 15 players in the field who will avoid this pressure packed week and progress directly to the final stage in Marrakech 
from December 14 to 18. 

Amongst those players hoping to finish well in the 
final event is Norrporten Ladies Open champion rookie pro Lauren Taylor, who is currently lying in 21st position on the Order of Merit.

Lauren, from Rugby, was the youngest ever winner - only 16 years - when she won the Ladies British Open amateur championship at Royal Portrush in 2011. 

*About the LET Access Series

The LET Access Series, the official feeder tour to the Ladies European Tour, has 
been formed to give players not part of a major tour an opportunity to compete 
and progress on to the Ladies European Tour.

The top five players on the 2013 LETAS Ranking will earn membership of the 
Ladies European Tour for the 2014 season, while the next fifteen players will 
have the opportunity to progress to the final stage of LET Tour School, thereby 
skipping the first qualifying event.
