In-form Breanne wins

Tenby Open by six

What a pity the Curtis Cup is not being played this month instead of next!

Welsh star Breanne Loucks, a member of the eight-strong GB&I team to play the United States over the Old Course, St Andrews at the end of May, has followed up her recent triumph in the South African women's open amateur championship by winning the Tenby Ladies Open by six shots.

The 20-year-old from Wrexham had two rounds of 72 for a total of 144, against the CSS of 148 (2 x 74). She also won the Under-21 Junior Lady prize.

It is understood that Breanne, Cal Carson image above, all rights reserved, will be turning professional before the end of the season. She is certainly making her last year in amateur golf a memorable one. Breanne won all three games in which she played at the 2006 Curtis Cup match at Bandone Dunes, Oregon.

Runner-up was compatriot Sahra Hassan (Vale of Glamorgna) with 73 and 77 for 150.
