The 2024 Women’s Captain’s Trophy Final commenced on a stunningly balmy morning, seemingly oblivious to the impending forecast. This eagerly anticipated match pitted the number 5 seed, Anne O’Hehir, against the number 14 seed, Barb Cummins.
The match unfolded with both players showcasing an exceptional skill level, resulting in a tightly contested battle with neither gaining a significant advantage. This equilibrium was evident as they reached the midway point, crossing over after nine holes with the match all squared.
Notable highlights of the match included Barb’s impressive chip-in on the 10th hole, setting the tone for the back nine. Anne’s remarkable birdie on the challenging 15th hole against the stubborn wind further exemplified the calibre of play.
As the players approached the pivotal 18th hole, tension was high. Anne found herself safely on the green after three shots, while Barb’s second shot appeared destined for the greenside bunker until an unexpected encounter with a rake altered its course, landing it firmly on the green. This stroke of luck ultimately aided Barb in securing the hole and clinching victory by a margin of one up.
Congratulations to Barb Cummins, the deserving champion of the 2024 Captain’s Trophy. Her exemplary performance and unwavering determination have undoubtedly earned her second Captain’s Trophy title.
