RACHEL DRUMMOND WINS ROEHAMPTON GOLD DUP

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Buckinghamshire’s Rachel Drummond scored a two-shot win in the Roehampton Gold Cup - with the help of a borrowed putter.
The 21-year-old from Beaconsfield, pictured with the trophy at the London venue, had mislaid her own putter but was able to borrow one from one of the club’s professionals. It did the trick and she invested in the same model at the shop at the end of the day.
Rachel scored 72, 71 for a 36-hole total of 143 and reclaimed the trophy for the amateurs after several years of domination by the professionals.
The runner-up was 15-year-old Charley Hull from Woburn who achieved a course record 68 in the morning, followed by a 77, for a total of 145. Third amateur was Sophie Madden from West Essex on 150 and fourth Curtis Cup player Holly Clyburn (Woodhall Spa) on 151.
Henni Zuel, a member of the Ladies European Tour, led the professionals with two rounds of 73 for a 36 hole total of 146, which earned her a cheque for £1,000. She was followed by defending cup holder Sophie Walker (Forrest Pines) on 148 (75,73) on a countback from Corisande Lee (West Lancashire) also on 148. The Roehampton Gold Cup tournament was not played last year because of the work being done on the course.
The parkland course, with a par 72 was set at 5966 yards. Much remodelling in the past year and the re-siting of most of the bunkers gave the field of 60 plenty to think about. The course was in excellent condition and the players found the going very tricky on the fast greens and in the thick rough. CSS went up one to 75 for both rounds. In 2012 the event will take place on Saturday, April 21.
