Her recent form includes a tied-second finish at the 2026 Mason Rudolph Women\u2019s Championship, a fourth-place finish at the 2026 Big Twelve Championship and a tied-sixth at the 2026 NCAA Stanford Regional, all in the United States.

Rhodes made her debut at the Augusta National Women\u2019s Amateur in 2025 and made the cut at the 2026 event. She went unbeaten with 5.5 points from six matches as England Women won the 2026 Home Internationals, helped GB&I win the 2025 Vagliano Trophy, and was part of the England team that finished tied-fourth at the 2025 World Amateur Team Championship.<\/p>\n
She was also a member of GB&I\u2019s 2024 Curtis Cup-winning side, collected four points from five at the 2026 Curtis Cup, and contributed 3.5 points from four as Team International beat the USA in the 2026 Arnold Palmer Cup.
