She is one of two Kelseys drafted into Team Nadaud as Mollymook’s Kelsey Bennett prepares to make her professional debut on US soil at this week’s Aramco Houston Championship in Texas.

A stand-alone event on the Ladies European Tour, the Aramco Houston Championship boasts a sprinkling of American players, including Danielle Kang, Alison Lee and Brianna Navarrosa.

After qualifying fourth for the match play section of the 2022 US Women’s Amateur, Bennett went down to Navarrosa in the Round of 16 at the third extra hole.

Three years on, Bennett returns to the US with five top-10 finishes in her rookie season on the LET and ranked No.255 in the world.

The 25-year-old was selected to join the team led by France’s Nastasia Nadaud and which also includes England’s Liz Young and Kelsey Macdonald from Scotland.

It is a return of sorts too for Oklahoma State University alumni Maddison Hinson-Tolchard who is part of Celine Boutier’s team while Sarah Kemp is chasing a second team win for 2025 having been part of the Danielle Du Toit-led team that won the PIF London Championship last month.

The past three Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit winners – David Micheluzzi, Kazuma Kobori and Elvis Smylie – are teeing it up along with Jason Scrivener and New Zealand’s Daniel Hillier at the Amgen Irish Open and Steve Allan and Richard Green will be chasing more PGA TOUR Champions success as two of the 11 Aussies playing the Stifel Charity Classic in Missouri.
