Bad weather during the 2025 edition of the Allegria Stegersbach Ladies Open meant Michaela Vavrova had to play through a gruelling 30 holes on the final day.
Yet the Slovak still managed to finish in a tie for third place, her second-best result at a LETAS event.
“I was actually really tired on the last day playing that many holes and waking up so early,” she said. “I was happy with that performance and very happy that bad weather didn’t affect my game.
“I would almost say the opposite, it helped me and helped me focus more on what I wanted to see on the course. I didn’t really buy into negativity. I was pretty proud of myself.”
This year, Vavrova started her golf season in South Africa, competing in four events on the Sunshine Ladies Tour before recording a top-10 finish at the LETAS season-opener in Fez.
“Heading into the LETAS opener, I felt a little bit more ready than last year for tournaments already,” she added.
“Hopefully, I can keep this level of play throughout the season and secure some more top-10 and top-5 finishes and hopefully win as well.”
The 25-year-old, who was introduced to golf at the age of 10 by her grandfather Dušan, has had an eventful break back home in Bratislava.
Vavrova said: “I was practicing a lot with my coaches and we had some tournaments, some scrambles. I was playing different courses in Slovakia which helped me to work on different parts of my game.
“It was actually really great to be home for this much time and to be in the gym a little bit more. I feel good about my game, I’m excited to compete again. It’s been a long month but enjoyable.”
