Perth trio claim Peugeot Women’s Classic

Six states went head to head today, to compete for the ultimate dream an all expenses paid trip to play in the Peugeot International Pro AM in Paris. Opening the 2007 MFS Women’s Australian Open in true style, the national final was filled with skill, talent and glamour. The girls from Royal Perth Golf Club took out the biggest women’s team amateur championship in Australia with a total score of 57. Finishing close behind the winners was the Ulverstone team from Tasmania, captained by 14 year old Sarah Johnstone, with 55. In fine and sunny conditions, on immaculate greens at The Royal Sydney Golf Club, the girls displayed their competitive nature in grand fashion with the main challenge of the day being the bunkers and the fast greens. The leader board remained tight throughout the day as the women demonstrated their competitive spirit. “It&aposs unbelievable!” said Rumiko Takahashi. “We expected to come to Sydney for a holiday and some shopping time, we never thought we could win, now we&aposre off to Paris! Thank you so much Peugeot!” Rob Dommerson, Managing Director of Peugeot Automobiles Australia, said We are thrilled with the level of talent at this year s National Final. It turned out to be a challenging day for all players and we would like to extend our congratulations to the ladies from The Royal Perth Golf Club, a trip to Paris to play in the Peugeot International Pro AM is a fantastic opportunity and with the combined skill seen today, there s no doubt that they will be very strong contenders, added Dommerson. Women’s golf has gone from strength to strength and national tournaments are a great way to discover rising stars charging through the ranks from a club level. Peugeot is celebrating the outstanding success of the Peugeot Women’s Classic National Final and would like to thank all the enthusiastic players that participated in this year s event.
