Alex Peters retains North of

England Under-16s title

at Heswall

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION

England girl international Alex Peters has successfully defended her title as North of England Under-16 girls’ champion.

Alex, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency in the recent British girls championship at Monifieth, from Notts Ladies, pipped fellow girl international Heidi Baek by one shot in the open event at Heswall.

Both 14-year-olds helped England win the girls’ home internationals at Panmure Golf Club, Carnoustie earlier this month.

During the 72-hole event Alex equalled the course record she set last year with a three-under 71 in the second round.

Elizabeth Mallett of Sutton Coldfield Ladies shared second place in the girls’ Under-14 event. The championship was preceded by the annual Under-16 mixed match between England and Spain. The honours went to Spain this year. They won 8½-3½.

Wiltshire’s Hannah Turland (Tidworth Garrison) was unbeaten in the match, pairing up with Elizabeth Mallett to halve her foursomes and winning her singles 5 and 4.

England were also represented by Hayley Davis (Ferndown) and Sophie Godley (Lindrick).
