.sistently. In this spectacular march
his golf looked to be entirely too
easy for a grown man to play. Out
in 33, his first mistake came with
hooked drive at the tenth That
carried near the cedaTs and forced
him to play safe. But after two
par holes, he got this back by hole
ing a twenty-five-foot putt for a 2

his card totaled even AS on an aver

Jocks afternoon round was a diff
ferent story. Inspiration here gave
way to perspiration and he had TO
battle with the spirit of an ancient
highland clan to save his lead.
Hooked tee shots began to get him
into trouble and at the fourth hole
where Hutchinson needed a six. Ha-
gen had gotten back four strokes
At this point Jock settled down for
a spell but on the inward journey
he began to drift again. At the
twelfth hole he had to pitch dead
from the rough to get his par FIVE
At the short thirteenth he was
trapped but a fine recovery and one
putt brought him in a 3. And so he
fought it out until at the 340-yard
eighteenth he lit into a mighty
waIlop that stopped only two yards
, short of the bunker guarding the
green ard then his six foot put for
a three hung on the lip of the cup.

bunker. But at this point he settled
down grimly with a terrific wallop
that came within ten yards of the
green on the seventh hole. a high
