Mrs. Cudone won her second consecutive Championship by defeating Mrs. Lowell D. Brown, of Tyler, Texas, in a playoff at the Ridglea Country Club, Fort Worth, Texas.

Both ladies equalled the scoring record of 236 for the regulation 54 holes, and then Mrs. Cudone scored 76 in the playoff against 84 by Mrs. Brown. With nine holes to play in the Championship proper, Mrs. Cudone held a five-stroke lead over Mrs. Brown.

Mrs. Cudone then lost four strokes, to Mrs. Brown in the first three holes of the home nine, and three-putted the 18th to allow Mrs. Brown to pull even. In the playoff Mrs. Cudone birdied three of the first four holes and was never caught.
