Hallie Meaburn won the women’s playoff on Sunday over seasoned Prospect Vale campaigner Tammy Hall.
Both players finished the 36 holes on 156 apiece before the teenager from Royal Hobart tapped in by a shot.
Meaburn also went on to take out the junior section from her rounds of 79 and 77.
Wynyard golfer Craig Hancock continues his rare vein of form to easily win the men’s championship.
Hancock, who captured the prestigious Tamar Valley Golf Championship seven days earlier, was seven shots better than runner-up Joe Bower from Royal Hobart, who won the junior section.
Prospect Vale 16-year-old Ronan Filgate finished third, a further four shots behind.
Another Prospect Vale golfer, Jack Tregaskisjago, claimed the colts championship, while Launceston’s Shayne Walker was awarded the seniors championship, the pair both hitting 151.
