DAILY EXPRESS ANDALUCIA UNDER 16 CHAMPIONSHIP

Sam Giles (St. Mellion) won the on the 1st extra hole! She was 3 behind the leader going into the 4th round but rallied and was tied after 72 holes. She nailed victory on the next hole! EWGA Report:

Cornwall’s Sammy Giles wins Andalucia title!

Cornwall’s Sammy Giles won a sudden death play-off to snatch victory in the girls’ event at the Andalucia Junior European Open in association with the Daily Express.

Sammy from St Mellion, defeated Poppy Finlay of Cheshire with a par three on the first extra hole at Finca Cortesin Golf Club in Spain. It was the first time the title had been decided in a play-off.

There was high drama as both girls came to the end of regulation play. Poppy, from Vicars Cross, looked odds on to win the competition but she drove out of bounds on the 18th and scored a desperately disappointing triple bogey eight.

Sammy meanwhile, hit a majestic approach in the last but thought she had to hole her 12-footer for victory - when in fact she had two for the title. She three-putted – and the two girls headed for the 10th and into extra time.

Sammy 16, has trained with the English Women’s Golf Association Super Birdies Squad and last year won the Cornwall girls’ championship.

CONGRATULATIONS SAMMY!
