Bishop Auckland’s Jess Hall came agonisingly close to winning the English Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship at Beau Desert Golf Club.
Jess – who led from the opening round – shot rounds of 70, 71, 75 and 72 to finish in third place, just one shot outside the playoff. Her final round featured four birdies, including at the 17th, but a bogey on 18 saw her fall just short of the playoff, which was won by Italy’s Alessia Nobilio.
