CLAIMING back-to-back Ladies' Championship crowns at Stocksfield, Muriel Foster made it 17 titles in total.

The long-serving member first won the championship back in 1985, and continues to lead the way as she retained the trophy from 2106 in a dramatic final with Liz Hartley.

The two faced each other after earning their place in the three-day tournament, and the two experienced opponents were neck-and-neck throughout.

But it was again Foster's name being inscribed on the silverware for the 17th time - a fantastic achievement especially considering she only took up golf to play with her father and brothers so she wouldn't be left at home!
