Papso And Swinden Take Hamilton Prize

Posted: October 03, 1995

Barbara Papso of Philadelphia Cricket Club and Cara Swinden of Whitemarsh Valley Country Club scored a 2-over-par 38-37-75 for the medal prize in the qualifying round for the Jane McCullough Hamilton 50th Invitational Golf Tournament yesterday at Huntingdon Valley Country Club.

In the better-ball competition, Papso-Swinden made back-to-back birdies on six and seven and also birdied 17. Last year, Swinden won the medal prize in partnership with Laura Martin of Philadelphia Country Club.

The defending champions, Jan Albert of Green Valley and Bonnie George of Philmont, gained the last qualifying place at 78 for the match-play rounds, which run today through Friday.

Green Valley's Bonnie Kay and Marji Goldman, who barely missed an eagle on 18, finished second at 76. For possibly the first time ever, Riverton's Dottie Porter, a former U.S. amateur champion, failed to make the championship flight; she and Maryann Hajduk tallied 81.
