second out OF bounds. His third
reached the green some 90 feet from
cent drive was short with his second
and just reached the edge OF the
green with his third. Both of them
took two puts and the hole was
halved In five. At the twentieth hole
Knowles again hooked mis- tee shot
far OF the fair green and was stymied
by a bunch of trees. Whitney sliced
his tee shot out of bounds. but his
second split the middle 81 the course.
Knowles attempted 90 play over the
trees, but half topped his mashie shot
and hit "a limb which detected his
ball so that 80 lay just flag high. but
about 80 yards from the hole Whit
ney's third was wide. but stopped on
the right edge of the green. Knowles
played his third too strong and
passed the hole by % feet Whitney
