WANGANUI golfing sensation Tara Raj has cleared every hurdle on her way to being named No 1 for the Manawatu Wanganui women's team.
The 12-year-old Wanganui Golf Club player is the current points leader of the districts' Order of Merit after winning two of the four events making up the order.
Raj won the Wanganui women's open at Belmont and the Manawatu Wanganui Strokeplay Championship at Castlecliff this year.
Normally that would have been enough to secure the No1 spot.
However, because of her age, selectors decided to put Raj to the test against several other contenders last weekend to see how she handled the pressure and see if her top form continued.
