Mrs. Hulet P. Smith, of Pebble Beach, Calif., a former national
badminton champion who took up golf in 1944, won the third
Senior Women's Amateur Championship with 81-79-87-247 at the
Del Paso Country Club, Sacramento, Calif. Her winning margin
was one stroke over Mrs. William R. Kirkland, Jr., of New
York.
The defending Champion, Mrs. Allison Choate, of Rye, N.Y.,
shared third place with Mrs. Maurice Glick, of Pikesville,
Md., at 249. Mrs. Smith led by four strokes after 36 holes,
lost the lead to Mrs. Kirkland midway of the final round,
then regained the advantage with three holes to play. Mrs.
Kirkland's 15-foot putt for a tie barely slipped past the
hole at the final green.
In age class competition, Mrs. Smith won Class A (50-54);
Mrs. Aubrey E. Babson, of Novato, Calif., won Class B (55-59)
with 254; and Mrs. C.D. Lee, of El Paso, Texas, won Class
C (60 and over) with 251.
