PROFESSIONAL
2004 Highlights
Played in ten events with her best finish T8 at the KLM Ladies Open in Holland. An inconsistent year for Marine, who was not showing her best form. Uncharacteristically missed five cuts and finished at 87th on the OOM. Marine will hope 2005 is a stronger season.
2003 Highlights
Marine played in nine events in Europe with her best finish T11 at the Irish Open. Missed only one cut in Europe, her first missed cut for two seasons but endured a terrible time on the LPGA, playing in 8 events and only earning $2304. Marine will play back in Europe in 2004 and will hope to return to the higher echelons of the rankings once again.
2002 Highlights
Marine played in all 13 events on the LET and did not miss a cut for the second year running. Her consistency earned her five top tens with her best finish T3 at the Tenerife Ladies Open, French Open and P4 Norwegian Masters. Also placed T6 at the Spanish Open and T10 at the AAMI Women's Australian Open, T11 at the Irish Open and T12 at the La Perla Italian Open and unsurprisingly finished in the top ten of the OOM in 7th place with 4500.13 points. Despite not winning, Marine still gives herself plenty of opportunities and when the putts finally start going in for her, it is predicted that many victories will follow. Qualified for the LPGA Tour in 2003.
2001 Highlights
Played in 12 events without missing a cut in another remarkably consistent year, but without a victory. Recorded five top ten places including a magnificent fourth place at the 1.2 million Evian Masters in June, making birdies at the final two holes for a 66 to beat US Solheim Cup star Meg Mallon by a shot. Also finished fourth at the Biarritz Ladies Classic in September. Posted a further four top twenty places to finish fourth on the order of merit with 6590.54 points. Marine won her first professional event at the Princess Lalla Meriem Cup in Morocco during the off season, and many players believe Marine will soon join the winners circle on Tour and clinch a Solheim Cup spot for 2002.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Finished fourth at the 2001 Evian Masters. Also finished fourth at the 2001 Biarritz Ladies Classic. Posted five top tens in 2001 and four top 20's. In her first full professional season secured a remarkable nine top-10 finishes from 14 starts, including four top-3 placings. Finished 2000 season with highest number of birdies and second highest number of eagles. Finished T2nd in the 2000 TSN Ladies World Cup Golf Individual competition. 2000 Finished 3rd on the Evian Order of Merit. 2002 made it two seasons without missing a cut on Tour.
