Hurt in uriTing uonteti Nelson's back was injured about two weeks ago In a driv ing contest preceding the Vic tory Open in Chicago. He went on to win that event, and in the PGA concluded here yester day he played 204 holes in seven days. x Each night during the tour ney Nelson underwent heat, massage and osteopath treat ments to prepare for the next day's round, and despite the injury he scored 48 birdies and two eagles, went over par only 119 times and finished 37 under par for 204 holes. That per formance earned him the title, $5000 in war bonds, a huge silver cup and assorted trinkets. Byrd, the former Yankee baseballer who gave up the dia mond for the links in 1936. had 39 birdies and one eagle in his 197 holes of tourney play, but skidded over on 27 holes to finish 14 under even figures.

Lead Erased Byrd hiked his lead to three on the 21st as Nelson muffed a four foot putt, but then Byrd's game began to fall apart He lost to Nelson's birdie on the 22nd, and skidded over par on both the 25th and 26th to hit the final turn all even, his once commanding lead erased. With Bvrd's putter cooled off. Nelson romped to win the 29th, 30th. 31st and 3Zna m a row, and halved the next in par three despite a tee shot which soared over the green into the gallery to close out the match. The victory was Nelson's ninth tourney win in a row, a winning streak never before at tained by any golfer. ... Sailors, Nip .
