SUSAN AND
ANGEL ARE
HOLLYWOOD
STARS WITH
FINAL WIN

Leading qualifiers Susan Choi (Natick, Massachusetts) and Angel Sze (San Marino, California) stayed at the top of the board all week as they won the 61st Women's International Four-ball championship at Orangebrook Golf & Country Club, Hollywood, Florida.
They beat Mary Hanyak and Marianne Springer in the final but the "underdogs" from Wellington, Florida took the title favourites all the way to the 18th green before admitting defeat in what was the last event on the Orange Blossom Tour.
Both partnerships had a couple of birdies each and there was never more than a hole in it after the seventh.
Choi and Sze took a one-hole lead to the 18th tee after Angel holed a 5ft birdie putt at the 17th.
Needing "only" a par 5 at the 18th to clinch victory, Susan hit her second shot in the water.
But she knocked her fourth to within 8ft of the flagstick and drained the eight-footer to win the title for her and her partner.
FINAL
Susan Choi and Angel Sze bt Mary Hanyak and Marianne Springer 1 hole.
