Ing the 8,912-yard course exactly
to his liking, shot a sensational
66-four under par, and gave the
customers a thrill to boot as he
sank a 30-foot putt on the 18th
green at the clubhouse for an
eagle three on the par-five 453
yard hole.
Otherwise, the course had
most of the professionals pretty
well stumped. It was easy
enough on the narrow, wooded
fairways for the pros shot
straight, but when it came to the
fast, slanting greens, they Just
couldn t make a good showing.
There wasn t a 67 In the
crowd, but at the 68 mark were
four of the better shotmakers
all veterans whp have tackled
those slick putting layouts be
fore Denny Shute, Akron,
Ohio; Harold (Jug) McSpaden,
Philadelphia, Harold Sampson,
San Francisco; and Mark Fry,
the host pro.
However, such other natural
ly brilliant performers as Slam
mln' Sammy Snead, Ralph
Gukdahl, Sam Byrd, Willie Gog
gin, and Bruce Coltart, couldn't
even shoot par 70. They came
In one over all with trouble on
the putting curfaces.
