Amateur Golf Rounds
Mireille Leblanc shot four impressive rounds of golf in the 70’s to cruise to victory at the NSGA Royale Women’s Amateur Championship over the weekend.
Leblanc, a 20-year-old from Clare, finished Saturday with a 3-over 75 at the West Pubnico Golf and Country Club to finish nine strokes ahead of defending champion Laura Harris of Ken Wo.
Penn Hill’s Irene Jung, only 14 years old, finished third. Anne Balser of Digby Pines came fourth, clinching the final spot on the Nova Scotia squad heading to Winnipeg for the Canadian championships beginning July 29.
On the Senior Circuit, Kathy Powers of the Bluenose Golf Club came back from a five-stroke deficit in the final round to win the 2008 Senior Women’s Championship Saturday.
Defending champion Powers shot a tournament-best 74 to overtake Jean Boudreau of Hartlen Point by two strokes. The victory is Powers’ 18th provincial championship.
