Sanderson Cup team halve The Grange

_DB_4937 Report by Cathy Johnson (Team Manager)

Our Sanderson Cup team played against top placed Grange at Glenelg Golf Club this week and took advantage of the home course advantage to halve a very challenging contest 2.5 to 2.5. Unfortunately even wins in the next 2 weeks will not ensure we make finals.

Charley Jacobs, was playing at number 5 but was the last to finish and ensured we halved the day. Charley was down 2 holes early. She steadied but was still 2 down after 13 until she won 3 holes in a row to be square after 16. An error at 17 saw Charley 1 down playing the last – a well played par saw her win the hole and halve her match.

Matilda Wheare, at number 4, against a very hot opponent 3 under the card after 4 holes found herself 5 down after 9. Despite a very emotional week farewelling her Grandfather Tilly played good golf but could not overcome such a start and went down 8/6.

Sarah Crocker was at number 3 this week against her State Team Captain. Sarah was square after 9 but was pipped at the post to go down 3/2.

Jill Hodge, at number 2 should have been square after 9 but a 3 putt saw her 1 down. Clearly this got Jill going and she won the next 2 holes, maintained her lead and closed her match out 4/3.

Elysia Yap, at number 1, continued her Club Championship winning form to take an early 3 up lead after 6 and 5 up after 9. She ended her match on the 13^th 6/5.
