And since this match is called Ladies Choice, we give special attention to the Ladies category. Doni Johnston wins Open Division for Canada. Just like last year, Canada again has a strong showing in this category. In Standard Division the USA took the top 5 places, with Jenny Johnson taking top honors.
Congratulations to all competitors!
