Omaha Player Feature.
Walter Egan disposed Of R. R. Kimball
Of Omaha, 4 up 3 to play. The feature OF
this match was Egan's winning the fourth
hole in nine strokes. Kimball got into
trouble and wasted several strokes getting
out Of a bunker. Chief interest in the sec
ond round conferred in the play of Chandler
Egan. Rowland, his rival, is only II years
old.
Rowland seemed to be a likely winner
over Egan. who had been playing so bril-
liantIy, and the experts looked for a fall
down. But they halved the first hole in
FIVE after both had been in bunkers How
land took the second hole by better ap-
preach work, but Egan regsined the sd-
vantage by taking the next. The NTH was
halved in six. BY missing a three-foot putt
Egan lost the sixth. A hubbed second shot
by Egan lost him the seventh hole. The
next two were halved. Egan's approach to
the tenth was within three feet of the cup
and he won the hole. The eleventh was
halved. Howland's second going TO the
twelfth was in the bunker and he was lucky
to pull out a half. BY laying his approach
dead to the hole Egan took the thirteenth.
Rowland was bunkered, going to the four
teenth on his second. and this cost him the
hole. . -.
Critical play on the fifteenth gave Egan
the advantage he had been seeking. Equal
work halved the sixteenth and Rowland
was lucky in getting a half for the seven
teenth as he fubbed his second.
In going to the hole Egan outdrove his
rival and sent his second, a strong brassey
to the green. Howlsnd required three tC
get to the far corner Of the green and was
unable to hole in better than DOGGY FIVE
while Egsn was down in a fine four.
