Cornwall's Sarah-Jane Boyd has won the English Women's Amateur Championship at Kings Norton, Worcestershire.
Boyd finished two strokes ahead of fellow England golf international Alex Peters with a total of two over par 290 after four rounds.
The 21-year-old 2012 Ladies British Open Amateur Strokeplay champion from Truro Golf Club held a five-shot advantage going into yesterday's fourth and final round following a morning level par 72.
Boyd – also the 2012 South West Ladies golf champion – shot two-under 70 to take the halfway lead in the English women's amateur championship, while Devon's Emma Tayler fired the lowest score with 69 to soar to third on the overnight leader board.
Saunton's Tayler eventually finished joint 10th last night with 302.
Gloucestershire's Joanne Hodge (The Kendleshire) finished seventh on 297.
Cornwall's Boyd and Devon's Tayler have both put amateur women's golf in their respective counties on the national map at Worcestershire this week.
Boyd's 290 consisted 73 70 72 and 75 while Tayler carded 77, a best-of-the-tournament 69, 80 and 76. Hodge returned 79 76 71 71.
