The player
Class of 2027
Portuguese amateur golfer, Portugal U18 national team. Here is what a coach needs to see first — and everything on this page is sourced, either elsewhere on this site or at the federation.
World amateur ranking
European women's ranking, age category U18
Class of 2027
Record
Eighteen wins, five national titles
She plays for Vale de Janelas — Praia D'El Rey and West Cliffs, in Óbidos — and for the Portuguese women's amateur national team. Every event she has played, with the source of each, is in season by season, year by year since 2018.
Progression
How it has moved
The WAGR is the world ranking of amateur golf, run by The R&A and the USGA; the EGR is the European one, by age category. The lower the number the better the position — the axis here is inverted, so good news goes up.
