LADIES’ GOLF

HUTT TOURNAMENT. MISS S. COLLINS IN GOOD FORM. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Good form was revealed in the first and second rounds of the championship competition at the Hutt Ladies’ Golf Club’s open tournament yesterday. a The fairways had been revived by the recent rains, and the greens were in excellent order, but a blustering north-westerly wind, with a touch of coolness in its breath, made low scoring difficult. Some close tussles took place in the first round of the championship. Miss Suzanne Collins, of Featherston, New Zealand woman champion, had to go hard to defeat Mrs Foreman (Miramar) by 1 up. Neither player was at her best. Both took 44 for the out journey, Mrs Foreman being 1 up at the turn. Miss Collins squared the match at the eleventh, and from then on a stern fight saw Miss Collins prevail. Miss Collins came on to her game in the afternoon, and played like a champion to beat Mrs D. Wilson by 6 and 4. Out in 40, Miss Collins was 3 up at the turn, and she then rang on 4,3, 5,4, 4, to take the match on the fourteenth green. She recorded birdie 4’s at the thirteenth (400 yards), and the fourteenth (393 yards), being on the green in two at both holes. She was even 4’s for the five holes played on the home journey.
