NILES — The 2022 Niles City Golf Tournament is in the books.
After a soggy weekend opening, the tournament’s final two days at Plym Park saw plenty of sunshine and moderate temperatures.
The golfers took advantage of the weather as the Women’s Championship, the Senior Championship and Super Senior championships were decided. The A Flight crown was also awarded.
Amanda Horter successfully defended her Women’s Championship as she shot a 168 to defeat a pair of former champions — Cathy Daniels and Mary Lorance — who finished second and third, respectively.
Horter’s score was eight shots better than what she had in 2021.
Daniels finished 11 strokes back with a 179, while Lorance shot 188. Candy Seals (193) and Jamie Moody (203) rounded out the top five.
