on the fifth hole, where he half topped
a chip shot and hit the bank Of the
green and stuck. On the sixth he holed
a niblick pitch shot for birdie 3.

golf Of the pair on the outward nine
holes
Barnes outplayed Duncan all the
way around the course. The British
entrant putted very badly.
Duncan secured a birdie on the
very fine iron shot dead to the pin.
Barnes second shot to the eighteenth
hole brought up within eight feet of
the pin and he ran down the putt to
estab the new competitive record
for the course.
Duncan Strong on Tees.
Duncan consistently outdrove Barnes
all the way through the round. but
Barnes iron shots and his general work
around the green's far outshone that
of the British entrant. Duncan ap-
peared slightly nervous on the first
half dozen holes. but settled down
after he had holed his niblick shot
for a on the sixth and played per-
feet golf from that point. with the
exception Of the eighth hole.
Barnes nearly got a 2 on the shol
thirteenth hole, his ball stopping on the
lip Of the cup. Duncan's second shot to
the fourteenth was not more than three
feet from the hole. He missed the putt
and then missed another putt of the same
length at the fifteenth. where his pitch
shot was perfectly played. Barnes. on
the other hand, puttcd very we'll.
His work around the greens was a
big factor In his record score. Barnes
iron shot to the eighteenth was per-
fectly played. alighting within two
feet of the pin and running only six
feet beyond. He ran down the putt for
a birdie three.
At the conclusion Of their round the
players were accorded applause by the
gallery which had followed them
around the course, and the hundreds
of golf enthusiasts who watched the
finish of the play. The weather to-
day was perfect for good golf. The
strong southwest wind which bothered
the contestants yesterday had changed
into a gentle northeast breeze. and
weather and course conditions were
never better for championship play.
