Fine Putt for Lewis.
Lewis was lucky to get a half at the
tenth. for he was so far over the cup
only a fine putt saved him. At the
eleventh both reached the green in two,
only to take three puts. Lewis got
down fine putt for a half on the
twelfth. Graham's direction was faulty
on the thirteenth. and he was too
strong in recovering. Those errors,
along with Lewis's fine putt, gave the
latter the hole and left him 4 up. A

putt that gave him the hole par to 8

edge of the green. That left Lewis
dormie ?. Graham from the ninth on
had been inclined TO press, weakness
oftenest reflected in his putting. The
seventeenth was not played out. Graham
got into the chocolate drops, and in
escaping left himself TOO much to do
on the green where Lewis was well
placed. with a stroke 20 spare. Graham
extended his hand. and ali was over

hole, and besides their scoring was not
up 70 the first round.
