Pamela is British Champion
Photograph courtesy of LGUPamela Pretswell, won the British women's open amateur stroke-play championship in an exciting finish at Tenby Golf Club, South Wales today.
The tournament was reduced to three rounds after a 2hr 30min suspension of play from 9am to 11.30am while a violent thunder and lightning storm raged over the course.
The joint overnight leaders, Pamela Pretswell and Chrisje De Vries ( Netherlands ), did not set out for the third round until 12.30 which meant there would not have been enough daylight left for the field to play 36 holes on the final day.
Curtis Cup reserve and the 2008 Welsh girls champion, Amy Boulden (Maesdu), whose 17th birthday was earlier this month, moved up from third place, one off the pace, at the start of the round to take the lead with an outward 37 to Pretswell’s 39 and 45 by De Vries.
Boulden was still in the lead with two holes.
Pretswell was hanging on with a birdie at the 10th but bogeys at the 11th, 14th, 15th and 16th in none-too-easy conditions kept her playing second fiddle.
Then came a decisive two-stroke swing in the Scot’s favour. While leader Boulden bogeyed the short 17th, Pretswell was able to get a birdie 2. That put Pamela in front and she increased her winning margin to three shots by parring the last after Boulden had bogeyed it.
So Pretswell finished with a two-over-par total of 218, made up of rounds of 72, 74 and 72.
Boulden finished second on five-over 221 with scores of 68, 79 and 75.
