Browne rallied from behind in the North Group women’s final against Martina Gericke (Joondalup) to secure her win.
Gericke won the first hole, before halving the second, but Browne then started to hit some beautiful shots, winning the next three holes to take the match 2&1.
On her way to the final while Brown defeated Rita Conway (Lakelands) two-up in their semi-final.
