CAPE TOWN, 24 February 2015 - Melissa Eaton is intent on continuing her solid run on the Sunshine Ladies Tour and the KwaZulu-Natal golfer hopes to go one better in the inaugural Cape Town Ladies Open, which tees off at Royal Cape Golf Club on Wednesday.

The Port Shepstone player lost the Sun International Ladies Challenge title by one stroke to Stacy Bregman in early February and Bregman beat her by the same margin in the Dimension Data Ladies Pro-Am on Sunday.

However, two runner-up finishes either side of a top 10 at Glendower catapulted Eaton to the second position in the Chase to the 2015 Ladies Investec Cup.
