Johnny is a great | one at holing long putts. He sinks many a 40-footer. But for consistency, the poll gave the palm to Hagen. Hagen's P. G.

On the fif teenth green Walter, had an easy: par 4, but it was up o Johnny to sink a 40-foot putt to half the hele. He did that very taing—and a char- acteristic stunt it was. "Well, Walter, what'did you think of Johnny's 40-foot putt’”’ some one ask- ed as Hagen trudged to the next tee. “When theyre :iruggling to get balves I know I've zot them,” the champion replied. It was time to hear opinion. At the 155y es he prepared to play he said “I'm deuce.” He stopped his ball 12 feet from the cup, Farrell was only 15 feet away, but he missed his putt. while the con- sistent Hagen dronped his for the | deuce he had called.

It came on the thirty-sixth hole of the final match with Gene Sarazen Hagen not only had to try to sink a 30-foot putt to win the hole, but, failing_to hole his ball, he had to leave Sarazen a stymie. Sarazen had come to the eighteenth hole 1 up. He enly needed-a half to win the title. Both he and Hagen made the 280.yard drives, which car- ried them past 'the flag. Each lay on the right side of the green. toward its rear, Hagen 30 feet from the cup, Sarazen 35 feet away. They must putt in the same. general direction Gene played first, his bold try slip- ping 3 feet past the hole. Hagen took advantage of this tactical erro He made sure that if he missed his 30-footer, he wouldn't be fhort. He didn’t hole out. but he lafd Gene an almpst impossible stymie. Sarazen, after one good look, picked up his bail, taking a 4 and conceding the hole, and pushed on to the first tee for the extra hole.
