Hinson-Tolchard Finishes in Top 10 at World Amateur Team Championship
October 28, 2023 | Cowgirl Golf
ABU DHABI, UAE – Maddison Hinson-Tolchard capped a strong week representing Team Australia at the 2023 World Amateur Team Championship on Saturday, finishing tied for eighth as an individual.
After competing at the 2022 WATC in Paris, France last year, Hinson-Tolchard returned with Team Australia alongside Justice Bosio and Caitlin Peirce. Hosted at Abu Dhabi Golf Club from Oct. 25-28, Hinson-Tolchard carded an 8-under 280 to finish tied for eighth, while, as one of 36 countries in the field, Team Australia finished tied for sixth at 15-under 561.
For Team Australia, their placement marked its best since 2014, when they captured the Espirito Santo Trophy in Karuizawa, Japan.
After a par 72 in round one, Hinson-Tolchard skyrocketed into the top 10 on Thursday, carding the second-lowest round-two score in the field with a 6-under 66, surging Team Australia into a two-way tie for first to open round three. The Perth native's strong position never wavered in her two closing two rounds, staying firm in the top 10 with a pair of 1-under 71 efforts.
With the WATC allowing teams three starters while counting the two highest individual scores, Hinson-Tolchard was included in scoring across all four rounds.
Hinson-Tolchard and the Cowgirls return for their spring season on Feb. 4 when they tee off at the Puerto Rico Classic in Rio Grande, PR.
