BOTSWANA LADIES OPEN DELIVERS A WAGR RANKING

The 2026 Botswana Ladies Open has produced a very special milestone.

Congratulations to Keisha Wilsthire, winner of the Championship Division, who has earned her maiden World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) following her outstanding performance at the tournament.

Keisha's victory over 54 holes, finishing on 227, has now opened the door to the international amateur golf arena and places her among the growing number of players from Botswana competing for recognition on the global stage.

This is more than a tournament victory.

It is the beginning of a new chapter in Keisha's golfing journey and a powerful demonstration of what opportunities like the Botswana Ladies Open can create for emerging talent.

From Phakalane to the world stage. 🇧🇼🌍⛳

Congratulations, Keisha!
Your journey has only just begun. 🏆👏🏽

And to every player who competed in the 2026 Botswana Ladies Open—your participation helped create the competitive platform that makes achievements like this possible.
