Mrs. Philip Cudone, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., became the first player since the 1930s to hold a USGA Championship three consecutive years by winning the Senior Women's Amateur Championship at the Coral Ridge Country Club, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with a record score of 231 for 54 holes. Mrs. Cudone won previously in 1968 and 1969.
