DEFEAT

Erratic Golf Against Miss J. McCulloch ONLY ONE AMERICAN PLAYER LEFT

(By “GEORGE GREENWOOD")

Turnberry (Ayrshire),

June 9

Miss Wanda Morgan's defeat in her first match was the big surprise" of the British women's championship which was continu- ed here to-day. She was beaten 2 and 1 by Miss Jean McCulloch, of West Kilbride, thrice Scottish `champion, her first success being as far back as 1913. Miss Mor- gan, 27, holds a foremost place in women's golf, was Open cham- pion two years ago, and now holds the English title. Her dis- play against the Scottish player was too bad to be true.
