Italy’s Francesca Fiorellini secured a notable double on English soil after securing a wire-to-wire victory in the R&A Girls U16 Amateur Championship at Fulford. 

Eight months after winning the English U14 Girls Open Championship, Fiorellini eased to another title after a comfortable three-shot victory over an international field in York. The 13-year-old, who plays out of the Olgiata Club in Rome, was a model of consistency in the final round as she closed with a three-under-par 72 to lift The Angela Uzielli Trophy on a winning total of six-under-par 219. 

After Hannah Darling won last year’s inaugural event at the venue, Carmen Griffiths made a strong final day move in pursuit of more Scottish success, posting a superb bogey-free round of 70 to secure the runner-up spot on a three-under-par total of 222
