Katja from Finland got a 3. place in the final. No one else in the semifinals.
Foreign ladies
Just for fun we made a final with foreign players.
Katja from Finland was in the final, so she couldn't play, and when there were only 4 left, Nanna from Nyserne got the chance to play, and she accepted the offer.
So we had the youngest player Femke from Belgium at 17 years old and Nanna at 97 years old playing against each other.
I think it's worth noting that both Priscilla and Nanna used the same number of strokes as the winner of the World Cup.
1) Priscilla Grossemans, Kuringen (De Hemelbrug, Belgium) - 32 strokes.
1) Nanna Lyngdal Christensen, Nysted (Nyserne, Denmark) - 32 strokes.
3) Diane Degens, Koersel (De Hemelbrug, Belgium) - 37 strokes.
4) Femke Vrancken, Kuringen (De Hemelbrug, Belgium) - 38 strokes.
5) Zoraida Martinez, Ølsted (Borrehøj, Venezuela) - 39 strokes.
