New Feminine Star
,l,, 1,n
in which Glenna Collett. the youthful
golf star out of Providence, won the
I,crthallyn Cup Saturday is bandying
her name and praise along the iinko
loop today. They are all a-throb at
the length Of her tee shots, her volplan'
brassies, her crisp irons and the care
| free cxpertness of her putting.
To 20 back, Miss Collett first began
| to be noticed right after tho war, when
she was "runner-up' back home.
| She had a great medal round in the
| 1920 North and South and was still
coming nicely last year. Now 1t looks
as though she is climbing the last peak:
| She won couple of district titles and
then the national medal at Hollywood.
After that she came here and hers has
been real triumph, first beating cecil
Ieitch, the woman golfer, and
then going through to win the classic
trophy from probably the largest and
best field that ever competed for 1t.
Iron Nerve
To win she showed combination all
| the time of no nerves and real nerve.
Miss Collett was down and D to
play against Cecil Leitch. She won
on tho eighteenth.
The Providence girl was l down and
6 to play against Miss Caverly, tour
ney winner this year, and Miss Collctt
won on the seventeenth.
She was all-square with Miss Edith
Cummings at the turn. and won five oi
the next six holes, > and 3.
And in the final round, after being /;
down to Mrs. W. \. Gavin, twice MI
tionul tinalist, Miss ColCtt squared at
the turn and, from the eleventh, won
five straight holes, ) and 3.
After beating Miss IEitCh, instead OF
being ruined by the prosperity. Miss
Collett actually increased her golf pace
Her scoring, if she had played out al
her rounds. would probably have beer
something like 80, 70 and 81.
Misses Only One
As for her golf temperament, no mat
ter how the match stood. for or "ag in
Lcr, Miss C0lCtt always played hci
shots the same sweet way.
All during the match play fans can
: only recall one shot she failed to hit
; This was at the fifth. against Mis-,
Cummings, when she did not get out
Of trap on her first try.
: This Is the most impressive feature
of her game, the way she hits the bal
and hits 1t every time. Some of hcl
tee shots were almost unbelievabIy long
The course was gradually heightened a.
the week wore on, but Miss Collett was
still reaching the far places.
Willie Hunter, the British amateur
, champion, was right.
