On num- ber two, a par four, his second shot, a two iron, traveled nearly two hundred yards, straight to the pin. This feat allowed him just a short putt for a_ birdie three. On number six, his tee shot fell into the dense rough to the right of the fairway, but Lopez, cool and deliberate, stud- ied the predicament, pulled a number nine iron out of his bag, placed the ball fram out of the rough right on the green and two-putted for a par four. Other members of the foursome playing with Lopez were Dr. Wil- liam Demeritt, G. C. Snowden Ww and Norman Artman. The previous course record, 66. was also held by Lopez.
