champion. by up and to play-in
the final round of the competition,
played yesterday over the Plain1eld
Country Club links
Carter out-golfed his rival He was
the longer off the tee and his ap-
preaching was better. Time and
again he would lay his shot to the
! green close to the pin. A sample of
his confidence was shown at the eiev-
enth hole, where he had a six-foot
put to save the hole. Connolly had
negotiated one of similar distance,
but it never troubled the former in
terscholastic champion, for he ran it
down as if this was a common occur
renee.
Carter won the first hole through
Indifferent putting by the nervous
Connolly fine approach at the
367-yard third gave Carter a three
there, one. less than par, and as a
result he drew further away. Once
more, at the sixth, he was under par
and won the hole, but lost the next
when his second shot brought his ball
into a clump of trees, never to be
seen again. This was the only hole
Connolly won. Two halves brought
them to the turn. Carter being two
up there.
On the remaining six holes played
Carter never needed more than par
figures, and at the twelfth a superb
approach left him a three-foot put
for 8, another instance of where the
new champion was under par. Con-
molly visited the rough there, then
overapproached the green. He was
at fault once more at the thirteenth,
where a topped drive made it neces-
sary for him to take four to get to
the green. $50 yards away. Two
halved holes settled the match in
Carter's favor.
