New names atop amateur golf podium
New names will be introduced to both women’s amateur and women’s senior championship trophies in Manitoba this year.
Mindy Lichtman of St. Boniface built an eight-stroke lead early in today’s final round of the 54-hole provincial women’s championship and held on to win by one over Elmhurst’s Angela Martens, a former champ.
Lichtman, in winning her first amateur, posted a three-round score of 232 after today’s six-over 80.
Four-time champion Jill Hardy, who had won the last two, withdrew from the event before it started due to an out-of-province opportunity.
In the senior women’s division, Karen Saarimaki of Kenogamisis came from two shots off the pace to claim her first Manitoba crown. She fired an 82 today at St. Boniface to beat Southwood’s Noreen Stewart, the 2008 winner, by two shots.
Four-time champion Judi Lidstone of Elmhurst, the second-round leader, shot 87 anbd finished in a tie with Bonnie Stephenson of Niakwa.
