TOP SEEDS v. GIANT-KILLERS
IN FOUR-BALL
FLORIDA FINAL

Friday's 18-hole final of the 61st Women's International Amateur Four-Ball championship at Orangebrook Golf & Country Club, Hollywood in Florida - the last event on this year's Orange Blssom Tour - will feature the top seeds, Susan Choi (Natick, Massachusetts) and Angel Sze (San Marino, California) against a pair of giant-killers, Mariane Springer and Mary Hanyak, both from Wellington, Florida.
In tough playing conditions, Susan (pictured driving at the first) and Angel (on the right, awaiting her turn) beat two Hall of Famers, Marlene Streit (Ontario, Canada) and US Curtis Cup captain and many times team member, Carol Semple Thomson from Sewickley, Pennsylvania, by 4 and 3 in the first semi-final today.
In the second semi-final, Mariane Springer and Mary Hanyak claimed the notable scalps of the defending champions, Diane Lang (Weston, Florida), a past US senior women's champion, and Monica Von Glahn (North Palm Beach, Florida), by one hole.
Mariane birdied the last to give the underdogs a place in the final of the better-ball tournament.
+Many thanks to Brian Gilchrist, Director of Golf at Orangebrook G&CC, for the information and the picture.
