Elizabeth Mallett v Perrine Delacour in

British final between two 15-year-olds

This afternoon's British open amateur girls championship final - open to under-18s - at West Lancashire Golf Club is being contested by two 15-year-olds, one English, the other French.
Elizabeth Mallett from Sutton Coldfield, very much the underdog, had a marvellous one-hole win over France's 18-year-old Rosanna Crepiat, who is No 8 in the European Golf Association WOMEN'S amateur rankings, played recently in the winning Continent of Europe WOMEN's team against Great Britain & Ireland at Hamburg and will play for Europe in Illinois next week in the Junior Solheim Cup.
Oh, and by the way, Crepiat won the Portuguese women's amateur international championship in late January and finished runner-up in the Spanish equivalent only a couple of weeks later.
So that was the calibre of opponent, English Under-15 champion Elizabeth Mallett was facing - and she took it all in her stride to beat her on the 18th green.
In the other semi-final, Perrine Delacour, a French girl with nothing like Crepiat's CV, Perrine Delacour beat yet another 15-year-old Alexandra Peters (Notts Ladies), also by one hole.
Alexandra's glory run, which started last week with five wins out of six in helping England win the girls' home internationals at Fairhaven, finally came off the rails when she three-putted the 10th and the 16th.
Results:
