The 17-year-old, will be playing in the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters alongside the best golfers on the Ladies European Tour.

She has a little experience to take along with her, as she would start her proceedings to the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters on the 5th of December.
The teenager said that she will try and keep herself composed and not get carried away, as it will be important for her to do so, if she plans on making the cut in the tournament.
Sehmi disclosed that she has not been able to put the required amount of time on the fairways, to practice for the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters because of her school exams.
However, Sehmi said that she has been taking tips from a Professional at the EGC, Steven Deane, to polish her skills prior to the tournament.
The young golfer talked about a few players on the Ladies European Tour, and mentioned the name of Lexi Thompson.
Sehmi said that she frequently talks to the defending champion of the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters and that she (Lexi) is like a friend to her (Sehmi).
While talking about the course, Sehmi said, “I have played this (Majlis) course many times and know what it takes to shoot low. Hopefully, my long game would come in handy”.
She continued, “I don’t think making the cut is a distant dream, but it will all depend on how I fare with my putter”.
In order for Sehmi to make the cut in the Omega Dubai Ladies Masters, she will have to keep her nerves in check, stick to the basics and not let herself go over her head.
This is a great opportunity for the teenager to make a name for herself and to capitalize on the experience that she will gain once the tournament comes to an end.
