AMY BOULDEN BEATS BECKY HARRIES IN WELSH FINAL

Amy Boulden (Conwy GC) will play in next month's Curtis Cup match at The Nairn as Welsh women's amateur champion.
She won the title at Cardigan Golf Club this afternoon by beating the defending champion, Curtis Cup reserve, Becky Harries (Haverfordwest GC) by 4 and 2.
Boulden was the No 1 seed and Harries the No 2.
The pair also met in the Welsh final 12 months ago when Harries beat Boulden on that occasion.
Amy has already won the Helen Holm Scottish women's open amateur stroke-play championship over 54 holes at Troon in April.
The Irish women's closed championship is not played until June 16-18 and Pamela Pretswell (Bothwell Castle), the only Scot in the GB and I Curtis Cup team, decided not to play in last week's Scottish women's amateur (closed) championship at Tain.
Pamela elected to play on the Ladies European Tour developmental circuit in Sweden instead and beat a field of mainly professionals.
But Amy Boulden is the second GB and I team player to win her national title within the past week. Kelly Tidy (Royal Birkdale) beat Georgia Hall (Remedy Oak) in a play-off for the English championship which this year switched its format from the tradional match-play to four rounds of stroke-play.
