She duly won the Rookie of the Year award on the Ladies European Tour in 2008 and has not looked back since.

Last year she had her maiden tour victory and she is currently leading the European Order of Merit. She has already secured her place in Europe’s Solheim Cup team for their matches against the USA this September and is looking forward to playing alongside and against some of the greatest names in golf.

“I consider myself very lucky to be able to call Rotana hotels my second home and proud to associate myself with such a hotel brand that is expanding across the region. Customers all over the world will recognize the Rotana branding as I will be carrying it with me when playing internationally”, Reid said.

“A stop off at Amwaj Rotana, Jumeira Beach Dubai, on the way to the first events of the year in Australia proved to be the perfect preparation to put me on top of the rankings going into the rest of the season.”
