On the first day of the event, June 14, Soo took the early lead shooting a net 63. In the second round, she shot a net 67, tied for second place, one stroke behind Ethel Lerche's net 67.

Soo finished strong with the low net of the day, a net 65, in the final round Thursday, June 28.

Ethel Lerche shot a net 200 over the course of the tournament for second place. Lerche, a fourth-flight golfer — handicap of 33 to 40 — shot a net 68 in day one of the tournament and followed that up with a net 66 on day two and three.

There was a three-way tie for third place with Dot Moody and Bernice Herzberg, first-flight golfers — handicap of 11 to 19 — and Jenny Hong, from the second-flight bracket — handicap of 20 to 25 — each posting a net 216.

Thirty-three participants played in the long-standing golf tourna- ment with five dropping out before completing all three days.

The first and last days of the tournament were played at the Fry Course while the second leg of the event was played on the Jack Clark Course.
