The Legg's 70 was little short of
phenomenal, as he had hardly any
luck. He trimmed the cup six times
on puts, as he said the putting greens
were keener than he had anticipated.
His driving was brilliant especially
on the shorter holes, where he drove
on to the green every time. His only
poor drive was in playing the tenth,
but he retrieved himself with a
screaming brassie that put him on
the green in two. He lost his chance
for a by missing a comparatively
easy putt. He took three puts on the
sixteenth and then held out in a five.
