In a nail biting final, Jacqui Morgan pulls through to win her sixth NSW Senior Championship title today at Rich River Golf Club.
Morgan was up against Kim Burke which was always going to be a tough match. The pair met in the final back in 2017 and it was a close tussle then when they went to the 24th hole.
Morgan shot out of the blocks early and was 3up through six holes. The match got to 4up through 12 holes, then Burke started to fight back winning three and squaring two holes to bring it back to 1up playing 18. Morgan was too strong and squared the 18th which gave her the win for 2019, 1up.
Queensland’s Robin Callaghan had a close match in her final defeating WA’s Sharon Dawson 1up on the 18th in the 55-59 years match play. Callaghan qualified second in her section and was able to triumph over the number one seed in her first Seniors event.
Bermagui’s Maggie Hayes defeated Queanbeyan’s Pauline Jeffery 5&4 in todays match to win the 60-64 years category.
In the 65-69 age category, Victoria’s Betty McGuinness of Buninyong won against Chris Taylor of Belconnen Magpies in a tight match going through to the 19th hole.
For the all Canberra final, Liz Smyth of Royal Canberra was too strong for Belconnen Magpies, Pat Woodberry winning 4&3 in the 70+ age category.
The division one handicap match play was won by Pam Sassella on the 20th hole against fellow Queanbeyan member Fran Miller.
And WA’s Robin Challenor of Lake Karrinyup beat Belconnen’s Judy Tokley in the division two handicap match play final 5&4 this morning.
The Championship is also a qualifying event for the NSW Senior State Team. The three highest placed NSW players from the strokeplay component of the Championship will make up the NSW Senior State Team to represent NSW at the 2019 Australian Senior Championship.
The three representatives will be Jacqui Morgan, Kim Burke and Maggies Hayes.
