WALES' top woman golfer Becky Morgan (pictured) says she will permanently commit to the LPGA tour next year.

The 27-year-old Abergavenny-based former Curtis Cup player has had a successful season as a rookie in the professional game in Europe and America - and now Morgan will take the next big, step forward.

After winning $101,000 in the US and £55,000 in Europe, the Monmouth Golf Club member said: "I'm going to spend more time on the LPGA tour.

"I don't mind the travelling and I really do like it in the US."

For the past year, Morgan has been travelling back on forth across the Atlantic but it seems as if the North Carolina University graduate will spend most of her time in America.

However, she said she will still come back for big events like the Evian Masters, the WPGA Championship at Porthcawl and the Weetabix British Open.
