But you can bet he'll be back in Detroit next week with fire in his eyes, determined to win his first National Open title after nearly 25 years of frustration.

Nelson won in a double playoff. in 1947 Snead and Lew wor- sham tied but Snead lost the play off by a stroke. In 1949 he tied for second a stroke behind Cary Middlecoff. This year Snead will ba back at Oakland Hills for the Open, June 15-17 and at 49 he obviously is determined to make an all-out bid for the title. He has been play ing phenomenal golf in winning at Las Vegas, White Sulphur Springs and the recent Canada Cup matches in Puerto Rico. He shot 68-70138 in Tuesday's sectional qualifying round at the Gross lie Club, the best in that section. Then he said he was tired, unhappy about his putting and was going home to rest.
