B Palmer, Snead Pace Field Into Second Round of PGA By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sporii Editor . Akron, Ohio -flJPB- Golfing's new king - Arnold Palmer -and one of Its old ones-Sam my Snead - led the field into the second round of the PGA championship today. ', Palmer, driving well but putting only "so-so," showed the way as the 4-1 favorite when he fired a three-under-par 67 over the long narrow fairways of the 7,165 yard Firestone Country club course. That was one stroke better than Snead, and two blows better than Paul Harney and Freddie Haas. Right behind . them came Don January, Ken .Venturi, Doug Sanders and Don Fairfield with even par ; 70's. , Palmer, with official mon ey - winnings of $66,610 al ready in his pocket, is trying to add the PGA crown to the Masters and U.S. Open cham pionships for a "big three' slam.. Tlie iron-nerved, muscular Pennsylvanian came from be hind to win the Masters and the Open. Now he's in front and he isn't used to that. "But I'm hoping to stay there," said Palmer. Complains About Putter He complained that his putter - which has been his bread and butter club - let him down "a bit" Thursday In carding that 67. He shot the front nine in 34, one under the card, and the treacherous back nine in 33, two under. "I sank some good ones, but missed some easy ones," he said. He also didn't like the fact that five of his drives caught the rough. But when they strayed he recovered, usually with long Irons in a majestic manner. Typical was his re covery on the 465-yard par four 18th. Palmer hooked into the ' wiry rough, with some trees between the ball and the green. But he lashed an amaz ing three iron shot out of that mattress of grass and even put bite on it to send it to within 20 feet of the pin. It took him two putts to get down, but that three iron shot was the payoff in taking the lead. Palmer had only five one- putt greens, below bis aver age. But those other clubs in his bag saved him. Plays It Cartfully He played it carefully. On the 625-yard par five 16th, as tough a hole as these players have had to face in a major golf championship m years. he used a three wood off the tee, "just to make sure that the ball would wind up in the fairway. Then he used that three wood again for his second shot, leaving him a wedge to the green, where his 18-foot . birdie attempt hung on the lip. Palmer was happy with his game: Snead wasn t. He stomped off the 18th green immediately to the prac tice tee, complaining, "I play ed awful." Snead .trying for his fourth PGA title, had nines of 35-33 He birdied that long 16th hole when he wedged his third shot 12 feet from the pin and sank the putt. But a lot of other golfers came to brief on the hole. Wall Takes An Eight Art Wall, golf's leading money-winner last year, took an eight there when his sec ond shot landed behind a tree, James Yates of Atlanta, Ga., did even worse. He put his fourth shot into the middle of the lake in front of the green for an eventual nine. In the field of 184 shooting for this one, 10 players were grouped four strokes behind Palmer at 71. They were George Bayer, Jim Ferree, Al Besselink, Ernie Vossler, Bill Collins, Don Whitt, Jim Fer- rier, Bob Harris, Ed Griffiths and John O Donnell. Defending champion Bob Rosburg, who started out with a birdie and eagle, wound up with a 74 - and that's where Ben Hogan wound up, too. Dow Finsterwald, the 1958 PGA king, had a 73 along with Mike Souchak. Two former winners, Doug Ford and Lionel Hebert, were at 75. Two other ex-champs, Vic Ghezzi and Jim Tunesa were at 76 along with former U.S. Open champion Jack Fleck. At 72 were Tommy Bolt and Walter Burkomo. Cary Middlccoff and Jackie Burke were grouped in the 73 brack- el with Finsterwald, Souchak and Shelly Mayficld.
