Liz Young

Elizabeth Young (née Bennett, born 23 October 1982) is an English professional golfer. In 2022, her 14th season on the Ladies European Tour, she secured her maiden victory at the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open, a month before her 40th birthday.

Early life and amateur career Young started playing golf at the age of 12 with her older brother James. She attended the University of Iowa and earned a BA in economics.

Rose Ladies Series In 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, Young along with the then head professional Jason MacNiven at her home club Brokenhurst Manor, proposed a tournament in which lady professionals could compete once again under COVID restrictions. This Ladies Open competition was reported by Kate Rowan in the Daily Telegraph and rapidly became a series of 10 tournaments nationwide following the support of Kate and Justin Rose culminating in a series final at the Wentworth Club. The Rose Ladies Series opening event at Brokenhurst Manor was the first professional golf event to take place during the pandemic restrictions and was won by Charley Hull after a playoff with Young.

Personal life She competed as Liz Bennett until April 2013, when she married Jonathan Young.
