Sarah Heath chalked up the most convincing first round victory in the English Ladies' Amateur Championship over the sun-drenched West Sussex course at Pulborough today.
The 19-year-old former English girls' title holder from Shifnall, Shropshire, was four under par in overwhelming Nikki Chantry of Belton Woods by 7 and 6.
There were big wins also for defending champion Emma Duggleby and Rebecca Hudson, the British matchplay and strokeplay title holder.
They both chalked up 6 and 5 successes, overcoming Naomi Edwards and Jane Williamson respectively.
English international Kirstie Fisher, from Royal Lytham & St Annes, had to pull out all the stops to get past Fulford's Katie Dobson. She was two down at the turn but fought back to win through on the home green.
