Magic Maria claims Tydd St Giles Golf Club’s ladies title by a solitary shot

Maria Taylor-Vassall won Tydd St Giles Golf Club’s Ladies’ Championship title with a narrow one-shot victory after 36 exciting holes.

A score of net 174 (94+80) on rounds over successive weekends was enough for Taylor-Vassall to edge Lorraine Gaille into second after her net 175 (89+86) and lift the Scratch Cup.

Lin Walker was the winner of the Handicap Cup with a net 153 (89-20=79 and 94-20=74), beating runner-up Christine Burton by one stroke (96-18=71 and 94-18=76=net 154).
