AUSTRALIAN MAY WIN GIRLS’ GOLF HONOURS

ENGLISH OPEN TITLE BRILLIANT PLAY United -t— l!y Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 11 a.m. LONDON, Wed, One of two competing Australians, Katherin Rymill, of South Australia, has won her way into the last eight survivors in the girls’ open golf championship at Stoke Poges and has a I chance of being the first representa- ; live of Australia to win a golf ehamj pionship in England. *. i UenerSH regret was exjn-essed that I the two Australians were drawn | against one another, but Miss Rymill j and Miss Alison Milne, also of South | Australia, appeared to revel thor- ; ouglily in the friendly game, j Miss Rymill appears to have benefited considerably from watching her mother play in the British ladies’ championship and was able to win both her matches. She informed the Australian Press Association that she did not win because she was not happy about her driving. Miss Milne put her viewpoint plainly. “Anyhow,” she said, “it will be hard luck for the one who wins, because she will have to go out to be beaten in the afternoon.” This prophecy was wrong, for. Miss Rymill made up her indifferent driving and played beautiful approaches and putts. At the seventh hole she put her tee shot on the bank of a ravine, but overplaying the rough ground, she pitched the hall sufficiently near the pin to win the hole. Her victory over Miss Estelle Hough, one of the strongest of the English players, in the second round is a meritorious one. She gained her victory by a single hole at the last green. Tomorrow Miss Rymill will meet one of the twin sisters Whitfield, who today won two remarkable uphill matches against German and French opponents.
