Harry's early successes this season saw her quickly revise her goals.
"After a few events the goal was to try to keep my card on tour for the year and to have one top 10 finish," the 22 year-old said.

"I've got the confidence to know that I can go and have that top 10 finish if I play well, it's been a really big learning curve this year."
Harry says her victory in Hulencourt, Belgium was massive for her confidence.
"It took a while to really sink in that I'd won and still now I can't believe it happened," she told BBC Sport Wales.
"I play it in my head over and over again and try to get that feeling back as inspiration."

"It opened the door to play in two majors which were certainly not on my list.
"It's taught me to believe in myself and chase for another win and another and see how far I can take it."
Harry finishes the 2025 season ranked fourth among rookies and 13th overall.
"I showed myself that I do have the potential to play on the tour, with some of the world's best women, which has been great," she said.
As for her goals for 2026, Harry's focus is clear.

"I'm going to really pick and choose the calendar quite wisely next year, and just enjoy being out there and see how far I can come with my game."
"I've played a lot of events this year, the schedule has been hectic, so next year is going to be great to properly plan and get everything sorted."
