Burt holds nerve in play-off finale
JENNY Burt won a tense sudden death play-off to clinch the ladies Hauxwell competition title at Elsham.
Amid windy conditions and fast-running greens, Burt, the silver division winner with a score of net 68, took on Carol Pigdon, who triumphed in the bronze section with a net 72.
The knock-out started on the 10th. Both ladies hit good drives, but Pigdon hit a nervous second shot and then her fourth effort landed in a greenside bunker.
Burt made the green in three, however, and two-putted to win the competition.
