Alyssa should have been an overall winner; however, the golf clubs rules are that juniors cannot be overall winner. She did beat all the adults.
There was one player in the entire field of 170 plus players for whom it was a sort of day when nothing went wrong, everything work.
That was the young lady Alyssa Jamal who soared above all with a great score of 41 stableford points.
It was on the back nine that Alyssa struck a rich vein of 3 points, collecting a huge surplus of six points with a string of pars, on the 10th, 12th, 14th and 15th and one over on the double stroking 13th and 16th. However, on the two par fives, the 11th and the 17th where, both being double stroking holes and being within easy reach with her length, she would expect to reap more dividends, she came to grief, losing out two points through very uncharacteristic triple bogeys. But her total of 22 points added on to the 19 points in the first nine turned out to be the best score of the day. Best score of the day did not however qualify Alyssa for the Overall Prize, her youth going against her, Alyssa could only take the Best Junior prize.
But youth is the time of life when such small disappointments are taken as part of the learning curve, quickly overcome and on to the next challenge to be taken head on.
