LADIES’ GOLF

THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP WON BY MISS ENID WILSON. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 12. After an exciting match Miss Enid Wilson to-day won the Ladies’ Open Championship, beating Miss Wanda Morgan 7 up and 6 tb play. The foreign competitors were eliminated in early rounds, and the contest between the English finalists was followed by a large gallery. Miss Wilson has twice won the English Ladies’ Championship. In the semi-final Miss Morgan beat Miss Gourlay, who for the twelfth time was frustrated in her attempt to win the championship.

WINNER’S FINE PERFORMANCE. ' \ LONDON, June 13. (Received June 14, at 5.5 p.m.) There was a real thrill in the final game in the Women’s Golf Championship. In the second round Miss Wilson, who is 6ft high, was always calm and collected. ’.She led by only one hole in the morning round. In the afternoon, however, she played an inspired game; and no woman living, except Miss Joyde Wethered, could have bhttled against her. She played 12 holes in one under fours, and Miss Morgan never won one. Miss Wilson showed uncanny mastery in her approaches, finishing at holeable distance from every drive, and she only once took three putts. ‘ Miss Morgan nevertheless fought bravely. She possesses such a perfect style that’critics agree that she must eventually become champion. Miss Wilson admits that, like Bobby Jones, she always does best when thinking only of par for every hole and ignoring her opponent’s performances entirely. 1
