THURSDAY 29 MARCH

<image="2" align="left" />

Deirdre Brander (Newcastle/Horizons) has taken out her 5th NSW Senior Championship at Island GC, Nambucca Heads in a nail-biting match against Jacqui Morgan (Monash), winning 2-up on the 18th hole. Morgan was the favourite going into the Final being the number one seed as well as the winner for the past four years. Brander made some clutch putts under pressure to stay in front or at least square for the duration of the match and was thrilled to be able to play so well in the Final. Brander had previously won the Championship in 1999, 2007, 2009 and 2013.

It was a difficult day for the top seeds with every number one seeded player going down to their opponent. For full results, see below.

Golf NSW would like to thank the support of Nambucca Shire Council, Island Golf Club, Nambucca Heads and Geoff King Motors for making the event such a success for all involved.
