Golf: Krishna wins title

Auckland golfer Natasha Krishna won the New Zealand age-group title in Morrinsville yesterday and heads to the United States on a scholarship next month.

The 17-year-old New Zealand representative fired a final round two-under 69 for a 54-hole total of 10-under 203 at a soggy Morrinsville Golf Club.

She finished five shots clear of national strokeplay champion and fellow international Yeon Song Kim (North Harbour) and nine shots ahead of third placegetters Dana Kim (Christchurch) and Dasom Lee (Auckland), who won the under-17 age group by seven shots.
