Nellie Wins England Golf OFM

Norfolk’s Nellie Ong has won both the England Girls’ and England Women’s Order of Merit (OOM) after a stellar 2024 campaign. The 18-year-old qualified 3rd at the French Open to reach the quarter-finals and enjoyed two 2nd-place finishes at the Helen Holm Scottish Women’s Open and the Scottish Girls’ Open in April, before winning the Welsh Women’s Open Stroke Play Championship in May.

Her success didn’t stop there, as she helped England to a bronze medal at the European Ladies’ Team Championship in July, and later helping her country win both the Home Internationals in August, and the overall gold medal at the Spirit Invitational Amateur Golf Championship in November.

Ong said: “I am over the moon to win these two awards. My aim was to be consistent all year and I think I have done that, by trying to keep backing up good performances and bringing that confidence to the next tournament.

“It was such an amazing experience competing in a professional event at the Aramco Team Series. It gave me the opportunity to experience tour life and also play with the best players in the world and compare my game to theirs. For that I’m very thankful.

“I hope to show the same kind of consistency next year, working my way up the world rankings, and to help Ohio State get to the National Championship Finals.”
