Andrea Thorson takes championship
ANDREA Thorson has reclaimed the Meeniyan Golf Club ladies championship for 2018.
Having won the championship before, Andrea regained the title after Dot Christie took out the championship in 2017.
Going into the final round Thorson was three shots ahead of Christie and it was anyone’s title. With a good front nine Thorson extended her lead. Despite a close back nine Thorson maintained her lead to win.
Christie told The Star Andrea played a good game and congratulated her on her win.
“Andrea reminds me a little of how I was 20 years ago”, Christie said.
“But I’ll be back again, all going well, to have another go next year.”
