The ing before a gallery of ,000 cl ing, racing people, played bad golf, golf of the kind that cost him two shots at the fourth, where he hooked out of bounds and that only enabled him to get a 4 at the 350-yard fifth by a 20-foot putt. *Hagen's 6 at the ninth came as the result of a topped tee shot, which found la water ditch. He then needed 34 to |tie. It was too much even for Hagen, but he made a bold bid. The wraps came off and the world’s greatest fin- isher went boldly for every putt, but where they dropped yesterday they just stayed out tod He missed a brace of them by not more than the width of his putter blade, and instead of tieing was outside by two shots. Then there whs George von EIm, playing winning golf and thoroughly rving to win the champlonship, | getting out in 37 to be only a brace of shots behind Jones, one of which he picked up at the tenth. George got | deuce at the 130-yard thirteenth and | stood on the fourteenth tee with par to | tie, although he didn’t know it then. This fourteenth, 433 of the longest and most terrifying yards ever offered in any champlonship, had previously cost Jones a 6, and cost many & competitor a chance to win. Here Von Elm put his ball in the woods at the right m)d‘ finally holed out in 6. | But_he still had a_chance. At the| long fifteenth he pulled to the woods | took another 6 and was definitely | He made a gallant bid, however, | finishing with a par 3. a birdie 3 and a 5 on the last hole to tie Hagen. Meanwhile Hancock, entirely without allery over the first nine holes. and a lad to whom no one had paid any particular attention, came charging over the first nine holes in 33 strokes, picking up a brace of birdies and never going over par on a single hole, to lead Jones by one stroke at the sixty-third with nine holes to play, and to finish the first nine of the last round with a 2-stroke lead over Farrell What a grand chance this tactiturn serious lad from North Carolina had. a | chance that comes but once in a life- | time. He took on a 5 on the tenth, and | picked up a small gallery as word | pread that he had a chance, it he | got a birdie 3 at the tenth to pick up | a shot on Jones and stay two shots in front of Farrell. His second shot at the | twelfth went over the green arid he took three more to get down, dropping & shot to Jones and Farrell. But he picked it up again at the short thirteenth where a 25-foot putt for a deuce just lobbed over the lip of the cup. He smiled for the first time in that tense, nerve shak- ing round. a smile that seemed to spell victory, for he led both Jones and Far- a and they hadn't finished particularly strong. Trembles at Tee. His worst holes were yet to come, however, for the fourteenth and fif- and usually unconcerned lad actually was trembling like a leaf a: he teed his ball. The championship strain had begun to bear down, and it showed when he hit his ball, a Iar-rmglnf slice that bounded through a grove 6f aspens into a bad le in the rough, just missing Butterfield Creek which wanders through the course. He could have reached, the green with a mashie, but his head came up and he hit the ball into the rough only 20 yards away. His third shot carried 40 yards off the line to the left over the head of the gallery banked around the green, and he chipped back to_hole out in ‘That left him a 4 to win on the par § last hole and a 5 to tle. We firmly believe that if he had taken a penalty stroke on the seventeenth, pitched out on the falrway and then pitched up on the green he would have secured his par 5 on the last hole to win. So he stood on the eighteenth need- ing a bird to win. He stood fully 4 inches too far away from his ball on the tee and the resulting hook carried him behind a group of alders growing | in the low ground at the left. He had to play out and take a penalty stroke. There was no alternative. And he ha a 240-yard brassie shot left to the green. He half topped it and the ball ran thropgh a ditch to bring up 40 yards short of the green. Even then he might have tied with a fine pitch, but he played 25 feet short of the pin and took two putts for a 6. to finish 1 shot back. It will be many a long day before he_has another chance like that. Tommy Armour was one of the first to congratulate Jones and Farrell after he found no one could beat them.
