Introduction by WGC

Sam has recently burst on to the scene at this years's Ironman. She completely dominated that event for a first time entry and surprised everybody apart from her aunt and uncle, Lance and Trudi Hawksworth when she won it. Sam trains with Kirk Gibbons and it is no wonder with such an experienced team of mentors behind her - Sam will no doubt go on to be a real force to be reckoned with in the Open category.
