After seven holes, three Grange players were ahead of their opponents and two were trailing.<\/p>\n<p>At the turn, Lou Glennon maintained her signature steady play, holding onto a narrow lead. Mia surged ahead to establish a commanding position, while Elyse kept her opponent on their toes. After a slow start, Steph began to find her rhythm and Millie\u2019s spectacular eagle out of the bunker on the 9th gave her a one hole edge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>As play moved to the back nine, The Grange momentum only grew.<\/p>\n<p>Lou continued her impressive form, going three up at the 12th before closing out the match with a 4-3 victory. Mia remained consistent and delivered a dominant 8-7 win.<\/p>\n<p>Elyse, after moving one up on the 12th, faced a few challenging holes and was all square at the 15th. She demonstrated great resilience to win the 16th and 17th to claim a 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n<p>Steph, with Mia now on the bag, fought valiantly to come from behind to finish all square on the 18th &#8211; a fantastic display of determination and focus. Meanwhile, Millie was in sensational form, sitting five under par after 13 holes. Despite tough competition, she remained composed, produced another eagle on the 12th and wrapped up a 4-2 win, finishing eight under par.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Grange triumphed over Kooyonga with a resounding 4\u00bd to \u00bd match victory. Congratulations to the entire team on a hard-earned and well-deserved win. Special thanks to our dedicated caddies &#8211; Paul Corrick, Luke Luey, Lawrie Kozlovic, Ian Whinney and Mia, who stepped in to support Steph after her match concluded.\u00a0 The great team support and camaraderie truly made a difference!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"1651\" data-end=\"1688\"><strong>Sharyn Simes<\/strong><br data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1666\" \/><br \/>\nSanderson Team Manager<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1651\" data-end=\"1688\"><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/golf.com.au\/ga-national-and-state-events-calendar#\/interclub\/2334\/overview\">VIEW ALL RESULTS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grange Sanderson Cup team made it two wins from two matches with a strong victory over Kooyonga at Blackwood.<span class=\"clearfix\"><a class=\"read_more_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/2026\/03\/sanderson-team-claim-strong-victory-at-blackwood\/\"> Read More \u00bb<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4768,"featured_media":43185,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pennant"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4768"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43177"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43228,"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43177\/revisions\/43228"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grangegolf.com.au\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
