Sharon Thomas and Annabel Harris won the Women’s Foursomes Championship today with scores of 90.35 – 125 to win by three strokes from the defending Champions Josie Ryan and Lisa Ramen.
A field of 96 players contested the Championship, which is thought to be the biggest field for a number of years.
For Annabel Harris, it was her first Honour Board / Championship win at Headland. For Sharon Thomas, though, it completed the rare feat of holding the three major Championships for which she is eligible – the Women’s Club Championship, the Mixed Foursomes Championship and the Women’s Foursomes Championship. It was also Sharon’s sixth Women’s Foursomes Championship – having previously won four titles with Dominique Paice, and one with Christina Claxton.
Starting the third nine holes five strokes back from the lunch-time leaders – Vicky Sheridan and Fiona Munro, Annabel and Sharon stormed home – playing the last nine holes in even par.
The 27-hole Nett prize was claimed by Diane Gilmour and Cath Roberts on 105.25, with Ree Condon and Valerie O’Brien next best on 107.
First-time sponsor of the event – Lifestyle Buyers Agency (Club Member Steve Blampied) announced at the presentation that the events was such a success that he committed for the next five years!
