A number Of the matches were close,
but a rather unusual feature develop
ed IN these final round matches In
that only one of the twenty-six called
for extra holes.
The fight between Dempsey and Ey-
non for frst honors was, Of course,
the feature one of the day. Eynon,
usually q much better driver. was
were rather erratic at their long
game, with Dempsey being a little
the better on his approaches. The
veteran had considerable hard luck,
especially on the seventeenth, when
on his attempt from about thirty feet
from the hole, the ball hit the rear
edge of the cup and bounced back.
Had it gone in he would have had
a sure half and possible chance for
a win as 1t would have thrown 1t up
to Dempsey to hole a six-foot one.
Both Eynon and Dempsey had
troubles on the first hole, the former
driving to the right of the fairway
into a bunker and taking two to get
out Dempsey hooked into q trap
behind a bunker and sent his out to
the rough. the hole being halved in
6's. Eynon took the second, reaching
the green in 2 and winning when
Dempsey missed a siI-footer for q
half.
Dempsey evened II UP by taking No.
3, due largely to his opponents ball
going to the bunker on his second.
The Columbia player came very near
ly halying the hole at That as his
by inches. The next eight holes were
halved, Eynon again going to ! up
when he took the twelfth. Playing
this hole, Dempsey sliced to a gulley
but made a beautiful out and both
were about alike on their seconds.
+ Eynon laid his fourth dead and was
down in five, winning when Demp-
sey missed one from about three feet
from the hole. The next three holes
were halved in par figures. Demp-
sey scuaring the match again when
he took the sixteenth, reaching the
green on his second and going down
IN A, Eynon driving into the rough
and then sending his second to the
bunker and managing to get a pret-
ty 8.
The youngster was up for the first
time when he took the seventeenth.
He reached the green In with Ey-
non to the right of the trap well off.
Eynon's third overran and he lost
the hole when Dempsey was down in
after he had missed his putt back,
the ball hitting the edge of the cup
and bouncing out from about 30 feet.
The eighteenth was halved. which
gave Dempsey the match, up. Both
sliced slightly from the tee. Eynon's
second going to the pit short of the
green. Both managed to reach the
green on their thirds and were down
In SIS.
