ENGLISH GIRLS
MELISSA WINS ABRAHAM TROPHY
Dorset's Melissa McMahon played to eight under her handicap to win the Abraham Trophy by the narrowest of margins at Kidderminster Golf Club.
The Yeovil teenager beat Grace McCutchan of Worthing on countback after both girls returned scores of net 65. T
The competition is contested by England's most improved girl golfers with all the finalists qualifying on the basis of handicap reduction.
Melissa, who played off 14 in the final, took up golf about three years ago and has been encouraged by playing alongside her brother, a three-handicap county player, and club colleague Henni Brockway, a past winner of the English U-13 and U-15 championships.
She has gone on to play in the English U-15 championship at Kidderminster this week.
