a rush and evened the match at the

Phelps jumped TO the fore by winning
the fifth. but Evans evened II again
at the sixth.
The seventh and eighth went to
Phelps. making him up. which was
the biggest Iced he had at any time.

An unusual feature Of the match was
the halving Of the first eleven holes

took the twelfth. TO 6. Evans putted
poorly on many greens. while Phelps
was ragged In that department during
the first half OF the morning round.
While Evans putted poorly at times
he had bad luck in the two holes OF
the match. He had a good opportunity
OF winning the sixteenth and evening
