R. McCALLUM. AKMONT COUNTRY CLUB Pittsburgh, Pa., June 5—The age-old drama of the missed short putt, public enemy No. 1 and 2 and 3 of the golfing world, again is to decide the national open golf championship, which starts over Oakmont's bunker-sprinkled acres to- morrow, with 162 contestants finishing up their practice today for the three- day tesi for Olin Dutra’s crown Up here where the mist and smoke barely lifts from the Oakmont hilltops by 10 am. some fellow is going to blow the championship on a 4-foot putt with steadier nerves is going to bang one into the cup and win Hanging around up here on the hilitop, where the ninth green runs into one of the biggest practice greens in the world. are some three-score pro- fessionals, all of whom can drive and play the irons as well as any man who ever stroked a golf ball. They are level from tee to green. Some of them can drive a mite further than the others: some can plant an iron shot closer to the pin. | the and some fellow Last Few Felt Toughest. Bv'r when it comes down to the final analysis this 1935 national op links champiorship, as every cham- pionship that has gone before. Is going to be decided within 4 feet of the cup. It's going to be close, so close that a half h of level bent grass will decide the winner of the champion- ship and the forgotten man of golf the feliow whe finishes second. It's aiways that way in the national open and particularly will it be true at Oakmont, where a great field has gathered for the championship Four days of putting over these tricky and fast greens have convinced Roland MacKenzie, Congressional pro, that the championship is going to be won with the putter. Oakmont has 310 bunkers scattered over its hilly stretches, but these furrowed expanses of sand don’t worry the pros anywhere near as much as the 4-foot putt under pressure—particularly the na- tional open championship pressure You can steer the ball away from the bunkers. and after all voun can figure that the other fellows are get- ting in them. t00.” said Roland. “But I predict that the fellow who is get- ting down all the putts from 4 feet down to the wee ones is going to win this cnamplonship. These greens are fast as lightning, as true as a billiard table, but they have little undulations in them that are hard to see. Com- bine these with the nerve strain of the championship and you will find that the tournament is going to be won once more on the putting green. They will all miss ‘em, but the guy that gets down the most will win." Sarazen in Limelight. 'l‘RYlNG to pick a winner from the field gathered here is like trying tn choose a winner in a bunch of two- vear-old maiden horses. Most of the | clubhouse conversation centers around the stocky figure of Gene Sarazen, the great finisher of golf; around Dutra, & really great golfer who hasn't gotten the publicity break he should get, and around Paul Runyan. But Runyan, if vou can believe the clubhouse sharps, isn't long enough for this course, where they call a hole of 465 yards, uphill, a par 4, and where a hole of 265 yards is a par 3. Sid Brows, the finely-drawn South African | who won the Philadelphia P. G. A. championship, is getting a little con- | sideration, but the two who tied for the title back in 1927 are getting little more than a glance. Eight years is a long time in golf, and the scoring pace has been stepped up considerably since ‘Tommy Armour and Harry Cooper tied at 301 back in 1927. What score will win? I think you ean bet t any one who breaks 298 will be the new open champion. Sports Mirror B+ the Associated Press.
