Janet Melville repeats regional seniors'
title win - and same margin
Action replay! Nottinghamshire’s Janet Melville successfully defended a regional seniors title – and by exactly the same winning margin of nine shots. Janet, from Sherwood Forest, scored her back-to-back win in the 36-hole senior English women’s midlands regional stroke-play tournament at Erewash Valley in Derbyshire.
She was three-over par for the two rounds and scored seven birdies during the 36 holes.
The runner-up was Gabi Heuchel of East Berkshire, followed on countback by Vivien Saunders of Cambridge National.
Janet is in only her second season of seniors’ golf and has shot straight to the top. The former British champion is a seniors’ international and last year won the English seniors’ stroke-play title. This year she was runner-up in the event.
The regional Division B title was won by Mila Spray of Harleyford, Buckinghamshire. Her scores included an eagle 3 on the second hole of her first round.
She finished three shots clear of last year’s winner, Elaine James of Aspley Guise and Woburn Sands in Bedfordshire.
