Roberta Liti qualified for the Ladies European Tour 2026
Roberta Liti finished in ninth place with a score of 279 strokes (73 70 67 69, -11) at the Lalla Aicha Q School Final Stage, thus centering her full-time ‘card’ for the Ladies European Tour 2026. The competition, reduced from 90 to 72 holes due to bad weather, was played in Marrakech, Morocco, on the courses of Al Maaden Golf (par 73) and Royal Golf (par 72), on which the players took turns.
Together with Liti, the other 19 athletes ranked within the 20th position will also access the European women’s major circuit in category 12. Amateur Matilde Partele, a 19-year-old from Asolo Golf Club in Padua, placed 24th with 282 strokes (71 70 72 69, -8), earning the Category 16 card, which guarantees a more limited number of appearances and is reserved for players from 21st to 50th place.
The tournament was won by Dorota Zalewska of Poland with 271 strokes (67 71 66 67, -19), ahead of Anna Morgan of the United States, second with 274 (-16), and Alexandra Swayne of the Virgin Islands, third with 275 (-15). In fourth was Slovenia’s Ana Belac with 276 (-14); fifth at 277 (-13) were Scotland’s Hannah Darling, Ireland’s Aine Donegan, France’s Emma Grechi and Nigeria’s Georgia Iziemgbe Oboh.
Among the Italians, Anna Zanusso finished 86th with 291 strokes (69 73 75 74, +1), maintaining category 15 thanks to her 78th place in the 2025 order of merit, while Emma Lundgren and Maria Vittoria Corbi finished 127th with 297 (+7), achieving category 19.
Roberta Liti’s event was characterized by a steady comeback: starting from 92nd place, she climbed up to ninth, passing first for 45th and then for 20th position. In the last round on Al Maaden Golf, she signed a partial score of 69 strokes (-4), with seven birdies and three bogeys.
Professional since 2018, Liti gained experience on the Epson Tour, landing on the LPGA Tour in 2024. Returning to the Epson Tour this year, she has achieved three top ten finishes and is ranked 39th on the Race for the Card, a result that will allow her to compete on this circuit again next season.
