Minnesota, has won the Trans-
Mississippi Women's Golf Championship at last.
Often the runner-up for the title, Patty this year decided to cease being always: the bridesmaid and never the bride in this tournament, went out and played splendid golf and defeated Mrs. Opal S. Hill, of Kansas City, in the 36-hole final by the big score of six and five.
Mrs. Hill made a great fight of it in the morning round, the first. 18 holes ending with Patty only one up.
But in the afternoon it was a different story. Patty kept her skill on the fairways and found her putting touch. Mrs. Hill, 25 years older than her 20-year-old conqueror, showed the strain of the match.
Finally, they came to the 13th, with Miss Berg five up. Both reached the slanting green in three. Mrs. Hill's putt from 15 feet barely missed and Patty's ball was nearly stymied.
