In this next player episode I was joined by fellow Scottish compatriot and Scottish Women’s Number 1 player Gemma Dryburgh who calls in from Texas due to a hurricane emergency evacuation in New Orleans. We find out how Gemma has found her season so far with 11 cuts made in 20 events this year on LPGA Tour including 6 Top 25 finishes and what is to come for the rest of the year after this week’s Solheim Cup is finished.  Gemma is from Westhill in Aberdeenshire about 7 miles short of Aberdeen and grew up playing Football and supporting both Aberdeen & Manchester United. Gemma went to Tulane University in Louisiana, New Orleans where she would win 2x Individual Titles, Represent Scotland at World, European & South American Team Championships & would participate for Great Britain & Ireland at 2014 Curtis Cup. In 2015 Gemma would turn professional and would gain starts on the Ladies European Tour for the first 2/3 seasons before winning a LPGA Tour card for 2018.  Gemma is a 5x Professional title winner including the biggest win of her career in at Toto Japan Classic in November 2022 defeating home faithful Kana Nagai by 4 shots to win for the first time on LPGA Tour. Gemma has also won in 2017 on ALPG Tour & 3x Rose Ladies Series event winner in 2020 & 2021 in events hosted by Justin & Kate Rose! In 2023 Gemma would make every cut at the 5 Majors including a career best T8th at 2023 Evian Championship & would get the nod of approval from European Solheim Cup Captain Suzann Pettersen to represent Team Europe at Finca Cortesin where she earned a Full Point in 2 matches in Spain, something that is still memorable for her to this day! Gemma was great fun to have on and I enjoyed speaking to a fellow Scot! I hope you enjoy also! Listen & Download on either of Podbean, Apple Podcasts or Spotify! I appreciate the support!
