Manawatu Wanganui has made the best start possible to the New Zealand Women's Interprovincial Golf Tournament in Hawke's Bay going through opening day and yesterday morning unbeaten.
Auckland, Harbour Golf, Manawatu Wanganui, and Bay of Plenty Golf were all undefeated after the first two rounds on opening day with tournament favourites Auckland recording two decisive wins to begin their campaign for a fourth straight New Zealand Women's Interprovincial title at Maraenui Golf Club in Hawke's Bay.
But Manawatu Wanganui showed they are a team to be wary of come the latter stages of the week.
They beat Wellington 5-0, Hawke's Bay Poverty Bay 4-1 and Aorangi 4-1 in the first three rounds to tee off their interprovincial campaign.
Manawatu Wanganui number one Tara Raj recorded a notable win over the in-form Wellington number one Darae Chung 2&1, and beat Tessa McDonald 4&2 in the afternoon. Chung is the current leader on the Order Of Merit (OOM) Calendar.
