HEADv GOLF WINS BIG MATCH
Final Count Ends With Simpson Two
Up and One to Play After Hottest
Fight in the History of the Great
Western Golf Classic

=
The Kenosha Country club brought hon
or to his club on Friday afternoon at
Grand Rapids, Mich, when after one
of the most spectacular matches ever
played on a western links he won the
western open championship from Tom
Mcnamara, the eastern expert. 1t IS
the second time that Simpson has won
Ehe title as he was the winner in the
tournament in 1907. 1t was a great
match from start to finish and it was
The superb head work of Simpson that
gave him the championship.
Although Simpson was A up at one
lime during the morning he had lead
Vt only / at the finish of the first
round and Mcnamara squared the
match twice during the afternoon only
80 have the determined westerner again
20 to the front and finish there.
Simpson is generally regarded as the
pest and steadiest player in the
country, and has lived up to his repu-
latior here-this week. Mcnamara dis
played great grit in an uphill battle,
The same as he did against Wilbur
Dakes of Detroit Thursday, but the
.asterner could not conquer the Keno
Ina man.
The gallery was the largest of the
tournament and it was treated to a
brilliant exhibition of golf, both men
LONG remarkably steady work. The
crowd for the greater part favored
Simpson, and there was joy over his
victory. 1t is the general opinion
HAT there were no two better players
In the tournament than these inalists,
but Simpson led in favor, having won
The title in 1907. a
Mcnamara s fighting spirit stood him
IN good stead in the morning round.
Simpson started counting up his lead
carly. The first hole was halved in As.
The drives to the second were good, but
Mcnamara was short of the flag on his
lext two and took 5 to hole out. Simp.
ION put his second on the green and
vas down in for win.
Both drove we'll to the third, were
Just off the green on their second, and
took two puts for 4s. Another half re-
Iulted at the fourth, both getting good
IS. Simpson took the fifth with a
beautiful 3. He laid his mashie second
tour feet from the flag and holed his
putt. Mcnamara was on in 2 and took
} puts. Both took SIS on the sixth and
Bs ON the seventh.
Simpson after getting onto the
eighth green in 2, ran down a 90 foot
putt for a 3. Mcnamara laid his third
Sead from the edge of the green and
Sook A.; this put Simpson 3 up. The
lead was increased to when Simpson
hook the ninth, As. He laid his brassie
Iecond 20 feet from the flag and took
lwo puts. Mcnamara played his sec
pnd and third short and took 5.
At the turn Mcnamara began to pick
ny. Both were on the green in 2 at
the tenth and took Is for half, but
Mcnamara won the next, As, Simpson
going over ON his second and sticking
The ball into bunker trying to get
back. He almost holed his fourth, but
had to take 5. Mcnamara was on in
and down in 4.
Botn got as at the twelfth. A stymie
cost Simpson the thirteenth. Both

their seconds within foot of the hole
On their thirds, but Simpson was
stymied and lost, So. Each drove to
the rough at the next, took two more
TO reach the edge of the green and two
puts for a half in 5. There was an
DtherNpair of IS at the fifteenth

son over-approached on his second, was
short on his third and missed his putt
