though he might get the lead. and II
prUye-i TO lie his only chance To do so.

keep on adding to his lead. He won the
tenth. eleventh and twelfth. Pyne being
bunkered at the eleventh and missing
an ighteen inch putt at the twelfth.

errors. White began the u by putting
his second into n bunker. playing out
INTO another bunker N front or the

beyond the green. Pyne got into the
