Justine Voss shot the best round of the day to finish second in the inaugural English Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) Grand Medal final at The Worcestershire.

The Henley member and BB&O Golf Partnership county development officer carded a two-over-par 74 to edge out West Surrey’s Samantha Caplin on countback.

Both players scored nett 69s, but 27-handicapper Leah Hedges (Stock Brook Manor) was crowned champion on 68.

Oxon county player Voss said: “I have really enjoyed myself. I am very pleased with my score, and this is a fabulous course.”

She reached the final after club and regional qualifying.

Hedges and Voss both qualify for the UK final of the Volvo Masters Amateur Tour.
