Jaquie Dias wins Mackwoods Sri Lanka Ladies Stroke Play
Championship 2015
The Sri Lanka
Ladies’ Strokeplay Championship
celebrated its 41st anniversary In golfing circles, the event is simply
referred to as the ‘Mackwoods Championship’.
This tournament which is played under the flag of the Sri Lanka Golf
Union, has the distinction of being supported by the same sponsor from its
inception in 1974, to date. This
accolade goes to Mackwoods for their unstinting and continued promotion of
ladies golf for over 40 years.
The winner of this most coveted challenge trophy this year
is Jackie Dias with scores of gross 80, 85 and 75. Her victory, while not
surprising, is particularly commendable as she has been off the golf course in
recent times, but her experience and ability saw her take the title once again
for the 7th time. Her margin
of victory of 7 shots better than runner-up Tania Balasuriya‘s score is a
noteworthy achievement who shot a gross score over 3 days of 83, 82 and 82. 13 year old Tania is making a mark in ladies
golf and it is hoped she will be a force to reckon with in the future.
The Nuwara Eliya Cup a board event for the best aggregate
Nett score over three rounds was won by young Kayla Perera with Jaquie Dias
being the runner up.
The prestige and popularity of this championship was
reflected by the number of ladies who played in very challenging and unpleasant
weather conditions over 3 days.
Congratulations to all the ladies who took home the prizes.
