PAMELA BARTON ON HER GREAT GOLF VICTORY
NEVER EXPECTED LOCAL CRICKET GUY CHENG
TO WIN
Thinks Standard Of Play Higher In England
.
MAKES A CONFESSION
Le Touquet, July 14,
-- I saw Miss Pamela Barton this afternoon immediately after this 17-year-old English girl, a Royal Mid-Surrey player, had become the woman golf champion of France, writes a News- Chronicle correspondent.
Her eyes were sparkling with excitement.
What is it like to be a chim pion?" I asked.
"Very exciting, was the reply. "I can hardly realise it yet. There are not many people whom I know over here, and I feel that I want someone to talk it over with."
At the clubhouse the Duc do Mouchy, who presented the prizes, filed the cup she had won with champagne and spoke enthusias tically about her play.
Thou all the competitors took a sip from the cup.
Soon afterwards Pam rushed off to catch the evening boat for her coming-out dance in London:
A typical English girl, golden- haired and smiling, she won the French Women's Open Golf Cham- plonship today by overwhelming her Franch
opponent, MBe, do Lavigne, by 11 and 9 in the final over 36 holes..
Despite the power and accuracy of her play she made a surprising | confession.
Nine
of the second eighteen holca auffleed for her to complete her triumph.
She staged a glorious finish. Driving into the wind at the ninth, she sent her tee shot a distance of 230 yards a remarkable feat for a girl and she followed this up by grounding her second shot on the edge of the green and, with two pults, was down in a par four.
Miss Barton's excellent driving was one of the outstanding fea
tures of her game. Mllo, de Lavigne for the most part was out driven, and at some stages of the game seemed a little overnwed.
