Mary Lou Daniel

Miss Mary Lou Daniel, 17, of Louisville, Ky., defeated Miss Mary Alice Sawyer, 17, of Baltimore, Md., by 2 up in the final match at the Country Club of Buffalo, Williamsville, N.Y. Miss Daniel played a 30-yard approach shot to within three feet of the 18th hole to insure her triumph.

An unusual number of girls under 17 qualified for the Championship Flight of 32; in all, there were 21 in the flight who would be eligible for the competition again. Fifteen-year-old Roberta Albers, of Temple Terrace, Fla., was the medalist with 74, which broke the women's course record at the Country Club of Buffalo by one stroke. Miss Albers, a semi-finalist in the 1962 Women's Amateur Championship, lost in the third round. Miss Albers was not the only gifted player who failed to survive an early-round match. Miss Ann Baker, who two weeks later was runnerup in the Women's Amateur Championship, lost in the first round to Miss Renee M. Powell, the first Negro to compete in the Championship.
