Jenny Pease has her sights set on more success after hitting a rich vein of form.

The talented 22-year-old Braintree amateur golfer, fresh from claiming unprecedented back-to-back county titles, heads into next week's Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship in Scotland in confident mood.

Pease, who plays off a handicap of one, is particularly pleased with the improvement shown in her putting, the result of some hard work at Braintree Golf Club over the winter months.

She said: "I expected to do well and I wanted to do well because I've been working hard over the winter.

"My putting has been very good.

"I felt that had been the weakest part of my game before but I've done a lot of work on it over the winter."

Pease - currently Essex's leading lady amateur - will take on some of the best female amateurs around at the renowned West Links course.

Players from 24 countries including Australia, New Zealand, India and Morocco are set to take part in the tournament, which starts next Wednesday.

Competitors will play 18 holes over the opening two days before the leading 64 players will qualify for the match play stage, culminating in an 18-hole final on June 15.

Pease is representing Essex at County Week in Newmarket this week, where she will compete for the county against the likes of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hunts, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.

"I've represented Essex a few times now but it's always nice to play for the county," she said.

"It's all about achieving a high level of consistency and my immediate objective is to make it to scratch.

"And in the long term, I'd like to attend Tour School at the end of the year. Ladies' amateur golf is stronger now than it has ever been and there's a great deal more interest in it now so it's getting more competitive."

In addition to retaining her county title, Pease also produced an eye-catching performance at the recent Ladies' English Amateur event, in Scarborough.

Battling a very competitive field, she reached the quarter-finals after reaching the matchplay stage of the event, convincingly beating the defending champion Naomi Edwards along the way.

She eventually lost two and one to Royal Birkdale's Florentyna Parker, who went on to lose in the final to Gloucestershire's Hannah Barwood in the final.
