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, bad become the woman golf champion of France, writes a Newa- Chronicle correspondent.
Her eyes were sparkling with | excitement.
"What is it like to be a cham- plon?" 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 de Mouchy, who presented the prizes, filled the cup she had won with champagne and
spoke enthusias tically about her play.
Thon 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 Engilsh girl, golden- haired and smiling, she won the French Women's Open Golf Cham- plonship to-day by overwhelming her French opponent, Mlle. de, Lavigne, by 11 and 9 in the final over 36 holes.
Despite the power and accuracy of her play she made a surprising confcasion.
eighteen Nine of the second holes sufficed 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 putts, was down in a
par four.
Miss Barton's 'excellent driving was one of the outstanding fea tures of her game. Mille. do Lavigne for the most part was out- driven, and at some stages of the game seemed a little overawed.
