Pegasus win Pollock Cup

Pegasus win Pollock Cup

The rescheduled 2020 Pollock Cup final between Pegasus and Christchurch was held in fine hot weather at Waitikiri on Sunday 24 January. The Waitikiri course was presented in excellent condition and as usual offered up its challenges with its many dog-leg holes.

At No. 1 for the Pegasus was Momoka Kobori, playing her last amateur game before entering a professional career. In a very close match she defeated Christchurch's Catherine Bell 3/2. Pegasus then secured two other wins - one from Deanna Matthews Pegasus No.3 defeating Melissa Newburn 3/1 and the other from Bobbi Oliver at No.5 for Pegasus defeating Margaret-Mary Coughlan at the 18th. With wins for Christchurch by Nicola Webb over Sally Rossiter and Mel Brew over Sharon Stewart, there was only one match still alive between No. 2 players Olive Tapu of Christchurch and Amy Weng of Pegasus. Amy was 2 down after the 16th but then calmly sunk two long putts to birdie the last two holes to half their match and give her Pegasus team the 3.5 to 2.5 win over Christchurch.
