Marianne Skarpnord hopes her local knowledge of Losby Golf Club in Oslo will help her to a European Tour in the SAS Ladies Masters this weekend.

The Norwegian, 22, is one of the few competitors in the field to have played at the course, which has been closed for practice because of flooding.

She told the LET website: "I hope to win but I'll do my best over three rounds and count up on Sunday."

Aussie Hull keeps cool

Katherine Hull is keeping her feet on the ground after winning her first LPGA Tour title last week.

The Australian shot a 69 for a one-shot victory over Korean Se Ri Pak at the Canadian Open and hopes to maintain her form at the Safeway Classic.

Hull said: "I'm still on cloud nine. I'm trying to take the confidence from last week into this week and trying not to let the expectations get too high."
