LEXI DART WINS ENGLISH WOMEN’S COUNTY CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Sussex’s Lexi Dart sunk an incredible 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole to be crowned the 2026 English Women’s County Champion of Champions at The National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa’s Bracken Course.

Having shot 75 (+3) on day one, Dart needed to birdie the final hole on day two to win, after Morgan Bollan (Cheshire) finished on +6 overall across her 36 holes.

Dart said: “It’s very exciting and very unexpected to win. I didn’t really have any goals coming into this other than to enjoy it, which I definitely did! It’s the biggest thing I’ve won to date.

“The first round was a bit of a struggle – my irons weren’t going so well. But my second round I hit some nice ones, kept it on the fairway and holed some putts! I almost chipped in for eagle on 14 so it was nice to have an easy birdie there, and then on 18, I just tried to play the hole. With the putt, I thought I best give it a good go and I was quite lucky it went in!

“It’s a four-hour drive home and then I’m sure we’ll do something to celebrate this week!”

Selina Bartarya (Kent) and Haley Yerxa (Hertfordshire) finished tied-3rd on +10.
