T but his dimunitive caddy almost was | blown off the high plateau green. As | Hagen was abcut to putt the caddie | lost his balance in the wind and al- | most fell, taking the flag with him. ! Hagen laughed, steadied himself again | and laid the ball dead. After covering | the first seven holes in one under 4s, | the “Haig” needed 5 on the ecighth | and ninth, | At the eighth, Hagen was short with his second just over the bunker. He pitched and took two putts. At the | ninth he drove into the rough on the left, pushed his brassie across the fair- | way to the right, but a beautiful shot | from the tall grass put_him only 20 feet short of the pin. From here he | barely missed his putt after studying the line and bracing himself in the | wind for fully two minutes.

This vear he won after being overwhelmed by George | Duncan in the Ryder Cup matches. !

His next one almost | stopped dead on the edge of the cup, | but the wind caught it and the ball half-circled the hole and rolled in for a 6. 1 He made amends for that at the fifteenth with a birdie 3. At the short sixteenth he needed 4, being short with his tee shot, and took 2 putts. At the seventeenth he was hole high with his drive and iron and his 15-foot putt just missed the cup. He finally got down in 4, a birdie. At the home | hole, he was bunkered on his second | shot.

The bigger the stake, the bet- ter Hagen usually performed. Among Fagen's most startling feats, outside of national championship com- petition, were his famous 18-hole round of 62 in the Florida West Coast open championship of 1923, regarded as a world record for major tournament play;_his two rounds of 67—65—132, in the Eastern open at Delaware Water Gap, Pa., in 1926, another world record.

Diegel, who led after 36 holes, re- quired 82 strokes on the first 18 today, while Hagen was around in 75. George von Elm, amateur from the United States, required 77 strokes for his final round and finished with a total of 318. Bill Mehlhorn used 83 strokes for the final 18 holes and compiled a total of 314. John Golden played a round of 75 for a total of 308. Joe Turnesa took 80 strokes on his last round and had a 72-hole total of Ed Dudley scored 78 and compiled a total of 310. Joe Jurado, pro from Argentina, slipped to 82 on his final round for a grand total of 313. Jim Barnes, playing the last round in a spectacular 74, made his total 303, and went into a tie with Al Watrous for seventh place. Hagen played the first nine holes of the final round in 35 strokes, although he took a 6 at the ninth hole. He was being hailed as champion when he started on the last nine. Hagen scored four birdies and an eagle on the first nine holes of the last round. A brassie from the rough at the first hole enabled him to ram home a 6-foot putt for a 4. Another fine approach at the third left him an easy putt, and, although he pulled his drive at the fifth, he made another startling recovery. At the sixth he played a drive and iron to the green and was left 40 feet from the cup. He narrowly missed holding the putt. A point about Hagen's card arose at the third hole, where his ball was re- ported to have been moved by the wind ‘while he was addressing it. Hagen got his 3 at the eighth by driving over the short cut to the dog- :{egdhole and placing a mashie pitch lead. At the ninth a pulled brassie left him about a foot from a stone wall. He ulled a lefthand club from his bag and it the ball out into the fairway. He was still short of the green and had 1o take two putts for the 6. Hagen made just enough mistakes coming home to show that, after all, he can make mistakes at golf. He took three putts at the elevinh and sliced a second shot at the twelfth. At the short thirteenth, he was bunkered from the tee, pitched to within 12 feet of the cup and missed the putt. As the title holder plaved his last holes practically all the crowds were following him, but a flying squad of flagmen kept order in the moving mass. Bad Wind Cripples Style. After being well on the seventeenth with a drive and brassle, he lost his 3 when his putt from 10 feet remained out. Hagen's brassie at the home hole was in a bunker, but he thrilled the crowd with a typical Hagen recovery, a high flying niblick shot dropping less than 10 feet from the pin. He studied the putt carefully but was short about 9 inches for the 4 and took 5. “It was tough out there in that wind this afternoon,” said Hagen as squeezed his way through the o between the green and clubhouse. wind was just as bad this afte it was this morning, and I played each shot and each hole in exactly the same way morning and afternoon.” A stiff southwest wind whipped across the Muirfield course as the final play began. Special trains brought crowds from Glasgow and Edinburg just in time to see Hagen begin his third round at 9:30 o'clock. Diegel lost his lead on the greens. He took three putts at five different Toles on his round in the initial 18. “Putting wrecked me. I could hardly stand up on the greens” said Diegel. With the exception of his putting and one pulled drive into the rough at the eighteenth, Leo played good golf on the homeward journey of the first 18. Hagen Gets Flying Start. i Hagen, bundled in heavy sweaters, started out as though he was going to duplicate his 67 of yesterday, but toward the end of the first nine, he bogged down a bit. With the wind dead against him at the first, he got a birdie 4 by holing a long putt. At teh third hole his putt stopped dead on the lip of the cup and the wind blew it in. He played ghe short fourth perfectly for a 3, Andra Kirkaldy—60 years a Golfer—for the last 19 years Professional at the Royaland Ancient Clubof St. Andrews, in Scotland. Golfer F 100,000 Golfers, representing all the Golf Clubs in the United States, asked you to pick the one ‘best Golf Shoe in the World, how would you go about it? We considered this our problem and this is what we did: We secured letters of introduction to a number of best known Amateur and Professional Golfers in England and sent an expert over to interview these men—visit the famous Golf Courses of England — sketch the Styles as they stepped up to the first tee, look them over carefully at the 19th hole. Our Representative spent a month roaming over England and shopping in London. He bought 26 pairs of Golf Shoes, ranging in price from $10 to $42 in American money, and took this collection of high-priced Golf Shoes direct from London to the Headquarters of the Royal and Ancient game at St. Andrews, Scotland. Now if there is any One man in the World best qualified to select the One best Golf Shoe from the 26 different styles we brought to St. Andrews — that man is Andra Kirkaldy—60 years a Golfer—for the last 19 years Professional at the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews. ‘The Shoes were placed on a table— with all price marks and labels removed—and when Andra Kirkaldy selected this Shoe he didn’t know the Price nor the name of the Maker —but after carefully examining every shoe, he picked up this one and said, “It’s as good a shoe for golf as ever I saw. Ye canna wear these oot and they will hold the ground like a squirrel on a tree.” We paid 65 shillings ($15.60) for the original bench made model by Manfield—one of the best known makers of high-priced shoes in England—and we bought 40 pairs so that we could show one of Manfield's Originalsand the RegalReproduction, side by side, in 78 Regal Stores from Coast to Coast.
