Joining European number one Georgia Hall, the field will consist of Pernilla Lindberg, Caroline Hedwall, Anne Van Dam, Cheyenne Woods, Marianne Skarpnord, Sarah Kemp, Olivia Cowan, Amy Boulden and Jenny Haglund.

The other stars of the European Solheim Cup who join Hall are Charley Hull, Caroline Masson, Catriona Matthew, Azahara Muñoz, Karine Icher, Jodi Ewart Shadoff, Melissa Reid and Jodi Ewart Shadoff.

Hull said: “It feels good to be back in Australia and I'm looking forward to this week because I really like the course. I also like Adelaide, because it's nice and relaxed. I think all the courses we play at the Australian Open are similar to the links in the UK. I feel good and have worked hard this winter. "

His compatriot Britney Boulden felt that Kooyonga would present a severe test and expected higher scores than usual. « I think we will see a lot of British players there, with a little wind. It's really my type of course, compared to last week, where you know it's going to be low scores. It's a good test there. »

« I really like it and it's probably the best of the three courses we have played in Adelaide, in my opinion. I really liked the Royal Adelaide and did well there, but I think this one will be a bit harder. The greens are firm. The fairways are quite generous, but you should stay away from the bunkers. When you are on the green, you should remember to put the ball in the right place. I think the wind will also be an important factor, if it gets up it will be difficult. None of the five matches are really accessible, it's best to go for most of the par 5s and the par 3s are really strong. "

Xiamen International Open 2016 winner Anne van Dam, who finished third in last week's ActewAGL Canberra Classic, said: “I hope I can continue my solid game from last week, but golf is a fun game. I am really looking forward to this week. It's a new week and a good trip, it suits me really well. You can be pretty aggressive from the tee and hit a few short irons. It depends on the wind, but I'll probably hit between three and five drives. You have to really think, but my tee game is really good and I can be a little more aggressive. The most important thing is to put the ball in the hole, so I worked on my bet. David Buhai is going to be my caddy, so we're a great team this week. "

Nicole Broch Larsen, the Danish champion at the 2015 Helsingborg Open, was another player who thought she could be in the mix on Sunday. She said: "The course is amazing and it really suits my eyes and my game. I think you have to be a good ball striker to win here. The greens are fast and firm and you must have a good putter. If it's windy like today, it will be difficult. Yesterday it was perfect with a little wind, but with this wind it will be hard. "
