Angela Uzielli was one of life’s natural charmers. Her death was a shock, aged 59, and only a few weeks after her 1999 success.
Her competitive streak is reflected in her record, which includes becoming British Champion in 1977, playing in the 1978 Curtis Cup, taking the English title in 1990 (at the age of 50) and the British Senior Championship six times from 1990, the last in September, 1999 at Malone, where she won by a whopping six shots. She was an England captain and the 1990 Woman Golfer of the Year.
