B, 1944 Eddie Simmons Captures 1 6th Annual Southern Oregon Golf Meet LELAND CLARK IS BEATEN IN FINAL 3 2 New Champion Comes From Far Behind To Capture Fifth Tourney Diadem. Medford's Eddie Simmons cap tured his fifth Southern Oregon Golf tournament championship at the Rogue Valley Golf club Monday by dethroning the de fending champion, Leland (Pete) Clark. Medford, 3 and 2, In a 38-hole final match that saw the new tltleholder come from far behind to close out the duel on the 34th green with a brilliant birdie three. Four down to Clark on the 21st, and never ahead through out the morning's play and most of the afternoon round, Sim mons finally squared the match on the 28th with a birdie two and won the 32nd, 33rd and 34th to end the struggle. Simmons came through with on of the four-day tourna ment's best shots to clinch mat ters. On the 365-yard 16th hole he laid his second poke to with in 10 Inches of the pin, from 70 yards out, and Clark, who had putted 12 feet past the cup on his third shot, conceded the hole and match. On the morning 18 It looked like Clark, who has never beat en Simmons in five tournament tries three times In the semi finals and twice in the finals would finally kill his jinx. He fnl6hed the first round two up and one-putted the 19th and 21st for par fours to go four up. But Simmons, on the 23rd, engineered the shot that was probably the turning point of the match. Clark chipped up over a bunker from 35 feet to find the bottom of the can for a great birdie three to apparently So five up. Simmons, 'always a money player, then tapped home a 30-footer for another birdie to halve the hole. That seemed to break Clark's heart, and after they halved the 24th Simmons won the 25th with a nar four and the 26th with a par three to chop Clark's leader-' ship to one up. They halved the 27th, both taking sixes, and Sim mons finally squared the match on the 28th with a 10-foot putt for a birdie two. They both had fours on the 29th, 30th and 31st. Then came the 32nd, which Simmons cap tured to take the lead for the first time. Simmons' third shot, from 10 feet off the green, stopped two feet from the cup and he promptly holed It for a par four while Clark was taking a five. Eddie shot a par four on the 33rd to Clark's five, to make It i two up, and the match ended on the next green Simmons ..545 338 436 39 In Clark 344 455 4 2970 Simmons ..244 444 3 25 64 TWICE; FALL TO Tl By United Press San Francisco moved up to second place In the Pacific Coast league standings by splitting a double-header yesterday with I Hollywood 7-2 and 5-13 as Port- The first nine of the morning 1 land dropped two to San Diego round saw Clark medal a 35, one under par, while Simmons was taking a 38.
