No wonder Rhian Thomas's middle name is "Wyn!"

Rhian Wyn Thomas , pictured above, a Vale of Glamorgan Golf Club member, was the outstanding amateur player of the inaugural Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival in Spain earlier this month.
Rhian's parents do not play golf and she took up the game purely by chance - responding to an invitation at a golf exhibition by Welsh coach David Llewellyn for anyone who had never played golf to come forward and have a go.
She showed a natural skill right from the start and has never looked back.
Aged 20 and a two-handicap member of the Welsh Ladies Golf Union international squad, Rhian triumphed in both the Festival's 36-hole events.
She won the Murcia Ladies Open by seven shots from clubmate Anna Carling and the Hacienda del Alamo Ladies Open by four strokes from university student Ami Storey (Ponteland) the following week.
