CLEOBURY Mortimer teenager Emily Price completed a winning double in women’s golf events with a one-shot victory in The Leveret at Formby Ladies’ Golf Club in Lancashire.
The 16-year-old was one-under par for the 36 holes – played in continuous rain – and added it to her success in the Whittington Ladies’ Trophy only four days earlier.
Price, an England girls international, scored one-over 72 in the first round and followed up with 69 in the afternoon — the best score of the day.
“I’m really happy to have got two wins out of my first two events, it’s more than I could have asked for and it’s a good start to the season,” said Price.
“Now, I just hope I keep my form going this week,” she added as she looked forward to the Scottish girls’ championship, which starts tomorrow.
She had previously won the her first ever women’s golf event with a five-shot success at the Whittington Ladies’ Trophy.
Price, a past English U-15 girls’ champion, was three-under for the 36 holes at Whittington Heath in Staffordshire — and the only player to beat par in demanding weather conditions of gusting winds and rain.
