\n Victoria, a chemistry student at the University of York, appeared in the show which aired at 5pm a Thursday, January 22, where she was the third contestant in the line-up.\n<\/p>\n
\n The two players who appeared before managed to put a tidy \u00a310,000 in the team pot.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ahead of her cash builder round where she faced chaser, Jenny \u2018the vixen\u2019 Ryan for the first time, Brad asked the 23-year-old what she did to relax.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cI play golf and have a handicap of scratch, so I am playing quite a lot.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Bradley, himself a keen golfer, was speechless, eventually adding: “That’s crazy.”\n<\/p>\n
\n She explained she played for her local club, Delamere, the University of York, and also for Cheshire. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI once beat the British amateur champion four days after she won the tournament.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Asked what she would use her winning for, she said: \u201cAs I get older, my golf club membership gets more expensive, so it would really help with that.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Victoria had a difficult cash builder, with questions about rhyming slang, gymnasts of yesteryear, and European geography, yet still managed to bag \u00a32,000 for the team.\n<\/p>\n
\n Having been offered \u00a340,000, the \u00a32,000 she had earned, or zero, she opted for zero to give her the best chance of getting back to her team.\n<\/p>\n
\n And it was the full team which faced the vixen in the final round.\n<\/p>\n

\n Two of her fellow players, Samatha and Phil, gave strong performances, scoring 18 almost exclusively between them, given Victoria no chance to answer a single one.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Vixen raced toward 18 with time to burn, however fumbled an easy question about which century the Labour Party was founded under that name.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said the 19th century, which was wrong. The answer is the 20th, which the team got right.\n<\/p>\n
\n The pushback only delayed the inevitable though, and the Vixen reached her target with 11 seconds to spare.\n<\/p>\n
\n Victoria and her team went away empty-handed. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Victoria, a chemistry student at the University of York, appeared in the show which aired at 5pm a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-386797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
