Nelson, golfdom's leading money maker who has won 10 of the hut 16 major tournaments, feared no man as much as he feared the tricky greens on the 6.657-yard Calumet course.

Jug McSpadon, the Santord, Me., putting artist and Nelson's most persistent rival, is defend ing champion in the open and the one entry given a good chance to beat Nelson. During the pre liminary tournaments of the vic tory nation, he made a 67, five under par, to show his fondness for the course.
