Instances In which Walter has proved his courage are legion. How- ever, to me, none is so remarkable as that recorded on the seventeenth green at Olympia Fields, Chicago, when he was playing the thirty-fifth hole of his historic 40-hole struggle with Leo Diegel in the third round of | the 1925 Professional Golfers’ Asso- | ciation championship. Hagen Was in Danger. When Walter and Leo came up fo the seventeenth tee Walter was two down with two to go. It seemed high- Iy probable that Hagen, who had won the Professional Golfers’ Association title in 1924, at French Lick, was about to be dethroned as king of the | Professionals at mateh play. With victory almost within his {grasp, Leo skidded and then recov. ered himself. Ry %o doing. he confront- ed Hagen with as nerve.racking a teat as ever was evolved in a champion- ship contest. Hagen drove heautifully down the fairway and piaced his sacond shot hole high, 18 feet to the left of the cup. But Leo. after a satisfactory drive, was short on his second. his ball dropping into a ditch short of the green, from which he harely auc- ceeded in reaching the edge of the green with his third. Leo needed a 30-foot putt for par 4. It he could get it he was likely to halve the hole. for Hagen's 18-foot putt was a nasty one over a side-hill surface, but who expected him to zet it? Hagen naturally was his. of an eve, felt that the hole However, in the twinkling the situation was entirely changed. Leo ran down his long putt for a 4. Made Play Perfectly. Against any other golfer than Hagen it was 100-to-1 bet that Leo had halved the hole and won the | match. How many players do you know who could have had the least vestige of calm left after such an ordeal? Not many. But Hagen | putted with the rélentlessness of fate. He was compelled to play 2 feet off the line to conquer the side-hill roll and he had ta do it fAirmly, but he sank his ball for a hirdle 3 Everything depnded on one play and he made that play perfectly. Why? Well, loss to Diegel have deprived Walter of the only champlonship in his possession. It | isn't in the Hagen scheme of things not to hold some sort of title. In would | the end he downed Leo and went on | to capture the P. G. once more. Many will say that Hagen had no nerve. I think differently. I con- celve that he has lots of them, but that the tauter they are stretched the more precisely does his musclar system react to them. This incident would seem to prove the case, From a_ psychological viewpoint, a story told to me by Gil Nicholls, Hagen's playing partner in Florlda last Winter, is more revealing.

This incident arose during the British open championship of 1924, in fact, it marked the very culmi- nation of that event, when the cham- pionship, so to speak, “trembled in the air,” and no man could say where it would alight. On the seventy-second hole at Hoy- lake, shooting to a slippery “wrinkled" green, Hagen plaved his second shot 60 feet beyond the pin and mm|u back was compelled to approach trampled - back, but left himsel putt, with one of the “‘wrinkles oefore his ball. ow If Hagen sank his putt, the championship was his,” savs Nicholls, “but if he missed. he would go into & tie with E.

Golfers’ Victory Over Britis’ both men got fours. Leaving the green, Hagen remarked: “Look at me—how short I was on my second. Really, there's no use playing that way when you consider how the green is built. A fellow ought to stick his ball right up to the hole—it would hold.” Now everything that “the Hage" sald was true. But it also is true that although the green had an ex- ceptionally marked slope upward at the rear its surface was hard and slippery, Many a ball hit hole-high bounced over the banked-up rear portion during this tournament. That was why most players put their ball short on their gecond shots. . In the afternoon, coming to the tenth, Hagen obtained the longer shot, making Farrell the first to play through the green. Johnny played hole-high, went over the green and took a 5. Hagen again played snort, collected his par 4 and won the hole. 1t helped in his final victory Yes, the old boy is head he is matchless in his courage. have to be, or he would not have made his wonderful record. It is a fact that Bobby Jones' aver- age in the national open over a num- ber of years has been lower than Hagen's, But, matchless golfer though he is, Bobby cannot show re- suits that exceed those attained by Hagen. Ther no way, either, of digcounting Walter's victory over the amateur in the South last Winter. Walter, on past performance alone, must be rated one of the leading contenders for the 1926 open cham- plonship. My guess is that, not having held the title in seven years, he is going to put everything he has into an attempt to capture it next July. This regardless of what he does in the British open.
