Hewson's season is now on hold

From overwhelming emotion to uncertainty — it’s been a whirlwind of a week for British golfer Alice Hewson.

The 22-year-old earned her maiden Ladies European Tour victory at the South African Open on March 14, making her one of the last athletes to celebrate success before sport was put on hold due to the coronavirus.

Hewson should have followed up her maiden win by playing a $1m LET tournament in Saudi Arabia last week, but instead she returned back to her family home in Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire, not knowing when her next chance to follow up her victory will be.
