Chicago, Aug. 25 U.R The 18th green at Tarn O'Shanter was a revered spot today as high flying Johnny Bulla, the com mcrcir.l airplane pilot from At lanta. Ga., led the nation's best professionals through their sec ond 18 holes of medal play for the ail-American open golf cham pionship. The large, rolling green the end of a tough, par-72 course was the scene of some of the greatest putting of the season yesterday. It wns there that Bulla sank a curving 15-foot birdie putt to tie the course rec ord of 65 and take a three-stroke lead with 64 holes to go. A rhort time Inter, Byron Ncl aon, co-holder of the course rec ord, rapped In a 37-foot pu't to give him a 68 and No. 2 position In today's play for the first prize of $13,642 in war bonds. Then Cpl. Buck White, runner up In last year's all-American open, came In to fire a 35-.oot putt that rolled back and forth over the sloping green. It dropped to keep the soldier In the running with a 72. Late in the day. Bill Gordon. Tarn O'Shanter professional, fin ished off a futile 78 by holing out a 50-foot putt from off the green, a feat which few people present had ever seen. Great Finish But of all the lengthy shots, nothing will be better remem bered than the one that Bulla confidently sank to tie the course record set by Leonard Dodson of Kansas City in 1042 and match ed Nelson and Johnny Revolta. It climaxed one of the greatest back-nine finishes seen In go'f. One under par with a 35 at the turn, the Georgia pro shot a btrdle on the 460-yard tenth and added a par on the 11th. Playing with Cpl. Chick Harhert, Battle Creek, Mich., who shot a 69, Bulla then gave a rare golf ing exhibition as he fired four straight birdies over the courso's toughest stretch. He added two pars, and finished his round with his sensational nutt for a birdie on the par-4 18th. In addition to Bulla and Nel aon, other favored golfers today were the 69 shooters of yester day, Gene Sarazen, the Connec ticut squire who has moved his farming operations to New York: Bud Lewis, nPiladclphla; Pete Cooper, Gainesville, Fla., and Harbort. Of golfdom's famous moncy wlnnlng quartet of Sam Byrd. Craig Wood, Nelson and Harold (Jug) McSpaden, only Jug and Nelson were in good positions.
