PARIS - Former Wake Forest women's golfer Ines Laklalech will be representing her home country of Morocco in this year's Summer Olympic Games in Paris.
Laklalech was born in Casablanca, Morocco and started playing golf at the age of 10 and joined the Moroccan National Team at the age of 12 and represented her country several times at the African Championship, Pan Arab Championship and at the World Women's Amateur Team Championships, the Espirito Santo Trophy, in 2016 and 2018.
After obtaining her French Baccalauréat in 2015 from Lycée Lyautey, Laklalech attended Wake Forest and was on the women's golf team from 2015 to 2016. After finishing her degree in London, Laklalech made two starts on the LET Access Series and finished runner-up at the Belfius Ladies Open. She made the cut at the 2020 Aramco Saudi Ladies International, her first LET event.
Laklalech turned professional after she finished 15th at LET Q- School in La Manga in December 2021, securing her card for the 2022 Ladies European Tour. In her rookie season, Laklalech finished top 10 at the Madrid Ladies Open, The Mithra Belgian Ladies Open, Amundi German Masters and Skaftö Open, before sealing her maiden victory at the Lacoste Ladies Open de France.
Laklalech earned her spot on the Moroccan Olympic Golf team by finishing high enough in points in the Olympic Golf Ranking.
Over a two-year period, points were awarded to athletes based on their final positions in each OGR event, with performances in events with stronger fields earning more points, in accordance with a points distribution schedule approved by the International Golf Federation (IGF).
The points awarded in the most recent 13-week period were weighted at 100 percent of their original value. After the initial 13-week period, the points were devalued by 1.1 percent for each of the next 91 weeks before they were dropped from the athlete's two-year record.
The OGR is ordered according to the average points that athletes manage to accumulate over the applicable two-year period.
