Price, from Cleobury Mortimer, won the English women's stroke play among other titles.

"Winning the order of merit does mean a great deal to me," said the 17-year-old.

"It's great to know that all my hard work throughout the season has paid off. It shows me just how well I performed throughout the whole year, which is a real confidence boost and also motivation to do it again next year."

Her year got off to a fast start when she had three wins in two weeks, including the Scottish Under-18 championship. GCSE exams then took priority but she returned in the summer to win the women's stroke play and to represent England in the European and world girls' team championships

"Playing with other girls at such high levels is really motivational and helped me to understand what I need to do to become better," she said.
