(New Zealand Press Association)

HAMILTON. October 20. With success in the foursomes already hers, the 17-year-old Takaka player. Miss Nicky Campbell added yet another collection of trophies to her list in the national women's golf championships at St. Andrew’s, Hamilton, yesterday. She won the Mellsop Cup, 54 holes of medal play, by a three-stroke margin from Miss C. Collier, of Manawatu.

Miss Campbell had an afternoon round of 79 for an aggregate of 238 and shared top qualifying honours in the champinnship proper with Miss C. Collier of Manawatu. and Miss S. Grigg of Christchurch. So. besides the Mellsop Cup, she won the Arthur Duncan Cup for the best scratch aggregate in the two qualifying rounds and the Jessie Reid rose bowl (best aggregate net score of thiee rounds). I

Miss Campbell is certain to be one of the 12 likely Tasman Cup candidates who will be chosen! after the semi-finals next week.: The Tasman Cup team of six players, will visit Australia next year.

Besides Miss Campbell, Miss BL Cave, of Te Arona, who re-

turned a 79 and Mrs D. Steel, of Auckland, and Miss U. Wickham, of Tauranga, both 80s, handled the difficult conditions well yesterday afternoon.

Out in 41, Miss Campbell nad a five at the short, 3 third hole, but scored six bogeys altogether. A birdie 3 at the twelfth helped matters, but a two-over 6 at the thirteenth did not. She played two magnificent woods to the edge of the seventeenth green, putted short, but holed a splendid 12-footer for a 4. She threw away two strokes at the last. Needing a bogey 3 for 77, she put her tee shot to the left of the green, chipped short and then three-putted before a sympathetic gallery of about 150. The winner of this year’s South Auckland title, Mios Cave was out in 41 and home in 38 for a good 79.

Miss Grigg, neat as usual, was level with the scratch score after five holes and scored four fives in her first half of 40, to be home in 41.

After her sensation of the morning Mrs V. S. Land dropped five strokes in the fiist four holes

but a birdie at the ninth enabled her to be out in 43. Only three bogeys were included in her homeward run and thus she finished with 85.

Mrs Margaret Piadon, of Te Awamutu. crashed with a seven at the seventh to be out in 43. However, although sne got another seven at the tenth, she cruised home in 40 for her second 83 of the day. Among the notar.lc failures of the afternoon was Miss J. I*. Bull, of Masterton, whose 87 was untimely for her. Mrs Land’s 76 in the morning won her the L.G.U. Challenge Bowl and Miss A. Nash, of Manawatu. won the best gross on the count-back from Misses Grigg and ' Collier and Mrs Mangan. i Scores:
