At Top of Férp, Bob Likely Would Have Romped 1to Victory. at Seioto==After Second Round, Dad " Predicted Son Wonld Win With 144. BY W.R. MGCAI'LUM UT of the rush and clamor of adulation that surmnn‘t lhe new chlmplon and the roar of the multitude that greets his oruwmn‘, - one fact stands out .from behind the scenes at Columbus, where. Robert T.-Jones, jr., won his<second American open championship.- Jones was nof at the-crest of his gime in winning the open, itlé at | Do any time, with the bare exception of the last nine holes of the fmsl rond, when he knew what he had to do and did it. If Jones had been- the scoring marvel that he w t Sunmud.lle in the uh{mx rounds of the British open, or even the master who won the British open, he would have been miles ahead of the field that pressed close“on his heels at Scioto. x e first- two days—Thursday and | yard eleventh of Lhe tmnl !vum.

At the end of the remarked to a friend, “Why can’t I play this cock-eyed game?’ And at the end of the second round hl was resigned to bad golf. Was Prepared to Wight. Yet ‘that night at his hotel the fighting spirit of the Jones 'who wouldn't give up flared forth. For Jones, who had left the course With: out learning the scores of some of the others, Tooked down the list and found there - were but five men ahead of him and that Mehlhorn led by shots. (Bob Jones never the final game of the Capital City im) bad rounds.” The senior Jones, a fighting athlete in his younger days at college, knew that Bob had not gone too far behind the hill to Took over into the pleasant vale of victory, for he told Bob that 144 will win.” Two 72s. It didn't look irpossiblé, and it wasn't, for |R that is just what Bob Jones aid. He scored 144, with a 71 on his third. round and'a 73 off the last round. His first, third and fourth rounds were fully up-to the Jonés scoring standard, yet on all three of them he played only one flawless nine holes— the last ' nine of the championship. The othets were all struggles, valiant efforts to keep a mounting score down within reasonable limits. The second round was just a ghastly mess —the worst effort of the Jones cham- * pionship career. We maintain that if Jones had hit his stride on Friday, the seconhd day of the champlonship, he would have opened so bhig a gap after the third round no one would have pressed him dt the end. Shout Upset Turnesa.
