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.
