Byron Nelson, greatest golfer in
the country, off, his record, and
Bob Jlamiltonlof Evansville, Ihd,
a newcomer to the championship
flight Will battle it out .tomorrow
over 38 holes at the Man! to course
for -the 1944 national 1 PGA v title.
They earned the right to meet for
the Championship which belongs
exclusively .to . the professionals
with 36 hole semi-final wins' to-
day. Nelson's charge to the finals
was a walkaway,! 8 and 7 over
Charles Congdon; Tacoma, Wash,
entry who turned in an outstand
ing showing for the week, consid
ering he was playing in his first
championship. i i '
. Hamilton's trip in the nextklo
last round was covered with p?5r
falls. He finished with a 1 up vic
tory! over" Georee ) Schneiter, Salt
Lake; City, after a terrific struggle
that saw him take' the lead at the
33rd hole. He had .to bag an eagle
3 to forge to the front Schneiter
went down fighting. He nearly
sank a long chip shot on the 36th
hole for a birdie 3. The ball hung
on the lip of ithe cup,' the rivals
halved' the hole in 4s and the
match was over.
Nelson, off his tournament
showing he won? medal honors,
Incidentally ; j will be; the prime
favorite to take youthful ' Hamil
ton into camp. The big fellow from "
Toledo, O., carded another sensa-
tional round this morning in piling
up: a, 7 hole lead j over Congdon.
He posted a 67, his sixth succes-
sive sub-par eighteen, and he end- .
ed five under par for the 29 holes
played before I the! Tacoma entry
bowed out i r :: -
For 160 holes played thus far.
Nelson stands j 26 under par. On
top of that he three-putted three
greens today. After eliminating his
opponent he went and. practiced
putting for half an hour. j ; ;
The pace that .Nelson set was
best illustrated; by. the fact that
Congdon was eVen par oq the first
twelve holes, yet was? six down.
Congdon not only lost! the match
but he lost his: watch, i He missed
it after taqing some practice shots
this morning. 4 ! , f .
This will be Nelson's fourth trip
to the finals of the PGA. He lost
to Henry Picard on the 37th hole
in 1939; won the title the next year
by defeating Sam Snead and lost
the crown in 1941; to Vic Ghezzi
on the 38th hole. In 1942 he was
beaten in the semi-finals by Jim
Tumessa. There was ho tourna
ment last year. i -! (' . "
