in two. covering it in three. while
Reyhurn approa ched poorly and took
four.
At this point Reyburns lead had
dwindled down to one up and 1t ap-
peared impossible for him to pull him
self together. Tuckerman capturing
hole after hole until he had accumu-
lated seven straight and taking the
lead by three up. On the seventh, Tuck
ernan was away with tremendous
drive of fully $50 yards. while Key
burn sliced off into the rough. On his
second shot Tuckerman got up almost
perfectly, while Reyburn's efforts were
short and not accurate and the score
was all even. Had there been any pet
ting on the match the odds would have
been at least to at this point that
Tuckerman would win
Reyburn's bad luck continued on the
eighth. Getting drive that WAS at
least twenty yards further than Tuck
ernlans Reyburn topped his second
shot and "kerplunk.' the ball landed
on the far side of the little run.
Billy tried one shot at the ball and
then picked it up. Tuckerman went
perfectly all the way and would have
surely gone down in four. or one un-
der par. Reyburn pulled his drive
into the rough on the ninth. but got
out nicely. although his third shot was
par for the hole. giving up two up at
the turn for home. He made this three
up on the tenth, when he got away
with short drive. but outplayed Rey-
burn with the iron. again going down
in par figures of four
The turning point finally came to
Reyburn on the eleventh hole, a re-
markable jump shot enabling him to
get a tie after he had laid himself a
stymie. The shot was a beauty and
apparently gave Reyburn renewed cour-
age. as he won the next hole IN clever
style. Both players made good drives.
but Reyburn laid his second shot al
most dead to the hole. going down in
three, one under par, while Tuckerman
took four.
Both got away well on the thirteenth
and also approached nicely. but Rey-
burns third shot was beauty. laying
him dead, and he went down in four
once more under par figures. At this
point Tuckerman's lead of three hac
fallen back to one and Reyburn appar-
emily had a chance.
Tuckerman had been playing almost
perfect golf up to this point. and 1t re-
auired sensational work to beat him to
the hole. but on the fourteenth he came
across his first mishap when he went
into the bunker for a bad lie. He got
out all right. but Reyburn was flying
now and covered the hole in four.
while Tuckerman took FIVE. This made
the match all even and the tension of
the players and spectators was very
perceptible.
Cn tne rOad 10 bunker hill, Wnere
the fifteenth hole is located. both men
made nice drives. Reyburn's carrying
at least thirty yards farther than
Tuckerman's. and with it a splendid
lie. To the astonishment OF the gall
lery, Reyburn topped his second shot,
sending on a line into the trap on the
side Of the hill and lamenting was
heard on all sides Keeping his nerve
and using his knowledge of golf to the
best advantage, Reyburn pulled him
Nf hi holp
position on the green. to the joy OF his
friends. This shot evidently discon-
certed Tuckerman somewhat as he
also topped his third shot. and instead
of losing as expected, Reyburn went
down in 4 while Tuckerman took five
and the match was all even.
Once more Reyhurn outdrove Tucker
man by thirty yards on the sixteenth
mole. approached nicely and went down
in par figures of 4. Tuckerman's second
and third shots were short. and the
lack of distance cost him the hole. This
placed Reyburn in front by hole with
only > to go. On the long seven
teenth, Reyburn had the luck as he
came near to spillns the beans on
his third shot, when the ball appeared
heading for the bunker When about a
ward from the obstruction the ball
swerved OFF and good lie resulted
Both were weak on their short shots
and il was tied. although Tuckerman
might have won had he gotten close
instead of running his fourth shot
over.
Then came the home hole. with big
crowd waiting for the men to come in.
Reyburn's drive carried TO the right

twelve feet away and although Tuck
erman trimmed the cup, trimming doesn't
count. and the hole was haived in four
