In another great episode I was pleased to be joined by 2023 Belgian Ladies Open winner Patricia Isabel Schmidt who joined me live from her hotel room as she took a short vacation in Thailand with fellow LET pro’s Cara Gainer, Kajsa Arwefjall, Chiara Tamburlini, Emma Spitz & Annabell Fuller ahead of this week’s penultimate event at Aramco Series in China as we found out about her off week in Bangkok, her journey successes on LET & LETAS and more.
Patricia is from small town in Southern Germany in Goppingen not far from Stuttgart and although multi competitive in most sports growing up she would get into the game later than the average age. Schmidt would go to Armstrong State University in Savannah, Georgia before finishing her degree back at University of Stuttgart. Patricia had some success as an amateur winning 2017 Hetzenhof Open as well as finishing well at German International & Luxembourg International.
Patricia would turn pro in 2021 and would compete on Ladies European Tour Access Series achieving 5 top 10’s in her rookie season before having a standout 2022 winning her maiden title at Big Green Egg Swedish Matchplay, 2x Runner Ups at Flumserberg Ladies Open & Trust Golf Links as well as 6th at prestigious Rose Ladies Series which culminated in winning her LET card for 2023.
She would make her full LET debut at the picturesque Magical Kenya Open with lots of zebra & giraffe pictures on show. At Aramco Series in Singapore Patricia would finish 20th individually while finishing runner up in the team series with Pauline Roussin Bouchard & Nuria Iturrioz. In the summer of 23’ Patricia would win Belgian Ladies Open at Naxhelet GC by 2 shots to Maria Hernandez & Chiara Noja a terrific achievement in a rookie season. In 2024 it would be a solid season with 8 top 25’s including a 5th at the season ender Andalucia Costa del Sol Open de Espana at Real Guadalhorce. This year has seen 2 top 10s in the summer with 6th at Tenerife Women’s Open the week after a 9th at Jabra Ladies Open while a 12th at KPMG Irish Open & 15th at La Sella Open would follow.
Would like to thank Patricia for the opportunity to speak even when on holiday before a crucial last 2 events. Means a lot. Like, Download & Follow via Podbean, Apple & Spotify.
