WOMEN’S OPEN TITLE MISS WILSON'S VICTORY CHAMPION’S INSPIRED GAME Received June 14, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, June 14. After an exciting match. Miss Enid Wilson yesterday won the women's open golf championship, beating Miss Wanda Morgan, 7 up and 6 to play. Foreign competitors were eliminated in the early rounds, and the contest between the English finalists, each oi whom is only 21 years old, was followed by a large gallery. Miss Wilson has twice won the English women s championship. There was a real thrill in the women’s golf final game in the second round. Miss Wilson, who is a sixfooter, was always calm and collected She only led by one hole in the morn ing round. In the afternoon, however, she played an inspired game. No woman living, except Joyce Wethered, could have battled against her. She played twelve holes one under four. Miss Morgan never won one. Miss Wilson showed uncanny mastery in her approaches, finishing at a hole able distance from every distance. Whe only once took three putts. Miss Morgan, nevertheless, fought bravely. She possesses such a perfect style that critics agree she must eventually become the champion. Miss Wilson admits that, like “Bobby” Jones, she always does best thinking only of the par at every hole and ignoring her opponent’s perform ances entirely.
