The ladies Club Championship was also taking place where Katie Symonds and Maria Toledo Bailey would once again battle it out to become the Lady champion. The scoring for the ladies was good all round and once again it was very close between Maria and Katie, but it was Maria who took the advantage on the first day with a fantastic 73 gross. This gave Maria a five-shot lead over Katie who shot a 78, but Katie was only one behind in the Nett Championship. Both girls were going out in the last group on Sunday and it was Maria who started like a train with birdies at the 3rd and the 6th holes to shoot a one-under 35 on the front nine extending her lead. Katie tried to fight back on the back nine but Maria kept to her game plan and with birdies at the 11th and 14th sealed victory with a very impressive total score 144. Maria also took the honours in the Nett Championship again just beating Katie who finished runner up in both the gross and the nett. Very well done Maria and I hope you enjoy your time in America. I would personally like to thank the Competition Secretary's for their hard work before and during the weekend, sorting all the tee times out and giving us the scores ready for the presentation.
