ORANGE BLOSSOM TOUR ENDS

DIANE AND MONICA WIN ALL-FLORIDA
FINAL TO INTERNATIONAL FOUR-BALL


Two home-state players, US senior women’s amateur golf champion Diane Lang from Weston and Monica Von Glahn (North Palm Beach) won the 60th International women’s four-ball golf championship at Orangebrook Country Club, Hollywood in Florida.
It was the fourth and final event on this year's Orange Blossom Tour.
Lang, a former US Tour player who has her own website – she buys and sells houses in south Florida, and Von Glahn won by 3 and 2 in the final against another all-Florida pairing of Michelle Hartnell (Miami) and Paula Fitzpatrick (Homestead).
In the semi-finals Michelle and Paul had ended the title hopes of Stirling University’s top-seeded pair, Olivia Briggs from Manchester and Dawn Dewar (Monifieth) with an 18th-green victory.
In the other semi-final, Lang and Von Glahn had scored a surprisingly big win – 5 and 4 – over former champions Carole Semple Thompson, this year’s US Curtis Cup captain from Sewickley, Pennsylvania, and Marlene Streit, Canadian-born but now resident in Florida.
