LISA Winder was a student at Meols Cop High in 1991 when her artwork skills landed her and a friend tickets to The Open at Royal Birkdale.
Lisa, then 13, and pal Colette Hall found themselves in the company of the stars when they got to wander in the VIP tent courtesy of a competition organised by Merseyside Police and the R&A.
The tickets plus a £25 cheque came on the back of Lisa's victory in her age group in a contest to design an eye-catching crime prevention poster.
Lisa, from Birkdale, remembered it was "great" to get aboard a train and see her work warning 'Beware of Pickpockets'.
Today Lisa, 30, still produces artwork for pleasure and works in hospitality at Formby Men's Golf Club.
She remembered standing behind Nick Faldo on the course "egging him on".
"We were just giggly 13-year-old girls - we just stood out," added Lisa.
