Early life and amateur career

In 2014, she was runner-up at the Championnat de France des Jeunes Minimes (U16) behind Agathe Laisné, and at the Championnat de France - Coupe Gaveau behind Anais Meyssonnier. She won the 2015 Championnat de France Cadet, and was runner-up at the same event in 2016. [2]

Professional career

Grechi turned professional in 2017 and joined the LET Access Series. In 2019, she won the Belfius Ladies Open, and was runner-up at the Bossey Ladies Championship behind Hayley Davis. 2019 also became her rookie year on the Ladies European Tour (LET), where she played in six tournaments with a best finish of T12 at the dual-ranked Jabra Ladies Open. [1]

In 2021, she finished the season 40th on the LET Order of Merit, after top-ten finishes at the Gant Ladies Open (T9) and the VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open (T7). In 2022, she again finished 40th after recording top-5 finishes at the Magical Kenya Ladies Open and Aramco Team Series – Sotogrande. She was runner-up in the 2023 Aramco Team Series – Florida team event alongside Casandra Alexander and Gabriella Cowley. [1]

In 2024, she made an albatross at the Investec South African Women's Open to win a Renault car, and a hole-in-one at the Aramco Team Series – Shenzhen. [3] [4] She held the co-lead after the first day of the Lacoste Ladies Open de France. [5]
