It is thought that Walter Hagen, twice winner of the title in three years, will defend it again this Summer at Prestwick, with several of his compatriots banging away with woods and irons in the hope of grasping the torch should he let it drop. Trooping along with British expect to see, MacDonald Smith, who finished near the front both in 1922 and 1923; Jim Barnes, Bobby Cruickshank and Cyril Walker. It will.hurt, of course, to see any of them win, but it will hurt most if Hagen does it again. There would be some consolation for the British if any one of the others should come through, for they first learned the game on this side. Crulckshank is an Edinburgh product. Smith came from Carnoustic and Barnes and Walker began their golf in England. The strong-hearted Hagen, how- ever, is Tooked upon as “100 per cent American,” and wheh he gets hold of the trophy the British have no chance at all to run up the flag. Prestwick is near the place where Bobby was born, on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland. Hagen and sev- eral other American professionals be- came acquainted with the course in 1823 while tuning up for the open championship at Troon, only a few miles away. It has been one of the champion- ship courses of Great Britain for many years, and there are few links which penalize faulty shots with more severity. The first hole fs one of the hardest in the British Isles unless played without the semblance of a flaw, and the rest are almost as trying. The women's open champlonship will be played at Troon this year, be- ginning May 1S. British goifers un- derstand that at least two feminine American stars—Miss Edith Cum- mings and Miss Glenna Collett ~will | eross the Atlantic to compete.
