By GAYLE TALBOT
AUGUSTA, Ga.. April IS (TV
Slender Ben Hogan and towering
Byron Nelson, two of golf's crack
professionals, were scheduled to
match their skill today in an 18
hole play-off for the Master's
championship.
The! two Texans were deadlock
ed with 280 strokes apiece at the
end of the regulation 72 holes yes
terday. They are shooting at golf
ing gold of $1500 for the winner
and $800 for the runner-up.
Nelson was leading Hogan by
three strokes when they started
yesterday's final round, but he
wilted under the pace and wound
up with an undistinguished 73. A i
trapped second shot on the 71st i
hole cost him clear claim to tne
title. Hogan, the dark little man
who never quits, shot a birdie
three on the last hole of the tour
nament to gain his 70 two strokes
under par and a tie.
Their respective records for the
four rounds were: Nelson 68-67-72-73,
Hogan 73-70-67-70. Paul
Runyan, a pint-size like Hogan,
scored a fine 71 on his final round
for a 283 total and third prize of
$600. Fourth was Tenacious Sam
