like a winner at the turn. but Travers
made a grand finish, starting in at the
fourteenth hole and winning four holes
in rapid succession and the match by
2 up and 1 to play. Kirkby was more
fortunate in his match with the title

succession. and from that out he had
It comparatively easy and won at the
