II was the first spotted stretch he had
uncovered throughout the full test, and
II was Just what some of the wiseacres
anticipated. On no previous nine holes
of the contest had Mike failed to finish
below 40, and his best friends feared lest
he had at least one bad bit Of play to
haul him back from the eminence he had
taken at the close OF yesterdays play
Around I'm 70 in the morning. he had
improved his lead over all who were
anywhere close to him. He went out In
"a in that round, which equals the best
developed by the full field Of play, but
his 80 coming in wasn't especially good
He totalled 80 for the outward trip in
the afternoon. His play on several holes
was rather weak. but he managed to
avoid exceeding fives. Brady played the
third weakly, being short Of the green
and in a trap on his second. but he got
out nicely and holed foot putt for
par 4. He took at the fourth, after
missing footer for his 4.
On the seventh he played snort OF the
green on his second and missed another
try of some or feet for a by inches
only. His drive on the ninth was topped.
and he couldn't get on with his second.
He was down in two puts for another
U
had he played so many Of these so
weakly.
Brady's troubles started more in earn
est on the second half. A good drive
was followed by a hooked brassie into
sand trap on the tenth. He failed TO
get out >on his third. He got no more
than thirty yards on his out with his
fourth and was still short of the green
on his fifth. He Clipped on and had to
hole a ten foot putt for a Z. It was the
worst exhibition he had given through
out the tournament
Gets Eleventh I'm =.
The eleventh was saved for 1. with
a good long putt. after he had followed
good drive with a poorly hit brassie
second and then Clipped on with his
third. The twelfth drew steady play for
a par 4, but he was barely on the green
of the thirteenth. forty feet from the
flag, and 1t required three puts fer him
% get down.
The fourteenth was handled in a par
5. A good drive was followed by a
bra ssie hooked to the high grass. but his
third was a fine mashie that left him
ten feet from the cup. His first putt just
missed dropping for a bird 4. On the If
tenth he showed unsteadiness by play
ing a short pitch to the far edge Of the
green on his second, and he used three
puts to get his s.
AT the sixteenth he appeared to be
rushing headlong into a sad finish. which
had been gradually overcoming HIM His
tee shot was sliced far up into the rough
and the ball landed under big apple
tree. After making a half dozen or
more attempts to get a stance that would
enable him to swing he finally succeeded
in playing out about forty yards down
the fsirway. He pitched his third on
and took a 8.
But with hopes fast fading into the
distance he pulled himself together start
ing the seventeenth and drove fine tee
shot onto the green. Two well played
puts gave him a and left him 4 for
the eighteenth to get around In even 80.
He coupled a good drive with well
| played second and reached the green
His approach putt left him some six
feet to go for 1. but he made 1t.
Brady and Hagen will meet for
eighteen holes extra play in the morn

Off badly in their play for the day
Evans finally finishing with a total OF
| 3l3 for the full course. twelve strokes

putting, with here and there a bad
| shot through the fairway, proved Chick S
undoing.
