With no shots given in the top division, Allen was staring up the face of Everest and Herbert ultimately, and perhaps predictably, proved too classy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was magnificent to watch,\u201d Allen said. \u201cEffortless … elegant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was chuffed to get to the 15th. Once I got over the nerves on the first couple of holes (she hit her drive off the first tee on to the adjacent fifth fairway) I really enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great opportunity,\u201d said Allen, although she admitted she would probably wake up at 3am over \u201cthree shots that will haunt me\u201d.<\/p>\n

The semi-finals pit Herbert against Morgan and Keefe against Peters.<\/p>\n

Morgan defeated Robyn Pullar (Invercargill) 3 and 2 in the quarters, Keefe beat Tracy Bary (Rarangi) 4 and 3, and Peters knocked out Diana Syer (Hastings) 2 and 1.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Poverty Bay\u2019s Teresa Lewis advanced to the Division 5 semi-finals. She won her first match 4 and 3 and her quarter-final 5 and 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Top seed Lisa Herbert’s game was described as “elegant” by her quarter-final opponent at the NZ senior women’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1975,6743,18239,160638,6284,13845,3011,12506,18126,132152,38713,78,111,43,139,69,160636,5843,160637,1961,2563,1865,2834,80],"class_list":["post-289410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-at","tag-became","tag-championship","tag-chuffed","tag-david","tag-eight","tag-four","tag-gisborne","tag-golf","tag-goliath","tag-hopefuls","tag-in","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-semifinalists","tag-senior","tag-sorted","tag-this","tag-title","tag-today","tag-womens","tag-zealand"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
