ISPS Handa World Invitational- leading on the LPGA

I'm currently on a flight from Dublin to San Fransisco after an amazing week in Northern Ireland playing the ISPS Handa World Invitational for the first time. I stayed in Belfast with a wonderful couple, Seamus and Sandra, together with my mom and we had such a great time in the very history rich city and country. On top of that, I managed to play some really good golf and could see myself on the very top of the leaderboard for some time. It was an interesting format where men from the DP World Tour played alongside ladies from the LPGA as LET tour in two separate events. We played two different courses, Castlerock GC and Galgorm Castle GC. The courses were completely different from one another making it difficult to adapt and change as quick as you had to. Castlerock was a true links course on the north side of Northern Ireland and I loved the style of golf, the views, the wind, and conditions were great. Galgorm was a park course with heavy rough and much shorter so lots of hybrids and 3woods off the tee rather than driver (which is not my favorite type of golf). I started at Castlerock and shot 4 under to hold the lead after 18 holes. Then the storm came around and we played Galgorm in 40 mph winds and rain, not a super pleasant experience and I struggled a bit, but managed to continue playing onto the weekend. However, it was such a great opportunity for me to be in the position of leading the event, and go through the attention you get from that. Great learning week and I absolutely loved the views, the people, and the Irish culture we got to enjoy.
