by up and 1 to play. Mr.. Travers was
woefully off his tee shots and never
seemed TO be able to settle down. AT
the outset he let the first two holes slip
away from him by pulling his drives.
After this he gave a glimpse of his true
form by winning two of the next three
holes and sauaring the match.
Mr.. Travers' driving was again erratic
playing the eighth and ninth, where his
tee shots were bunkered. In spite of this
he halved the holes and turned for home
all square.
On the return journey the American
champion pulled his drive to the tenth
and was again one down. After half
at the eleventh a badly topped drive cost
him the twelfth and he became two down.
He missed threefoot putt to win the
thirteenth, and as halves followed at the
next four holes he lost the match at the
seventeenth.
Besides being a member of the Royal
and Ancient Club, Mr.. Henderson belongs
to the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing So
