WP Women’s Amateur Championships – Bellville 21-23 March 2018

It’s not over till the final hole!

Ekurhuleni’s Caitlin McNab took a slender two shot lead from Kaylah Williams into her second round at the WP Women’s Amateur Championships; she took her lead to three with an early birdie, and when Williams fell back further when she opened her final round with a bogey and double bogey, McNab was now in the lead by six.

The chasing pack of Danille du Toit (76/77 – 153), Woo-Ju Son (74/82 – 156) and Zethu Myeki (75/83 – 158) were battling with the windy conditions and were unable to close the gap on McNab.

When McNab stood on the 17^th tee box she could not forsee the drama that was to unfold. A double bogey on the par 5, 17^th put a dent into her lead; after signing for a quadruple bogey on the par 4, 322metre, 18^th her chance to win the championship was over.

It was Kaylah Williams’s (73/78 – 181) second provincial win, after her win at the 2016 Ackerman Championships.

Westlake’s Alison Bourne won the Executive Trophy in the Silver Division, and Bellville’s Ems Hepburn won the Bronze division.
