The golden crown Of golf is now so
frnly wedged upon the Scotch brow of
J. Fowler Hutchison, better known as
Jeck-The-fIutch, that can of nitro
slycerine couldn't blew it away.
No victory in the history of golf ever
pleased as many nations or as many
Individuals.
Born at St. Andrews Scotland, the
foundation OF his great game was laid
at Pittsburgh land the final develop
ment completed at Chicago. where he
las made his home fer years.
So as a Scot by birth and an Anesi-
can citizen by naturalization the ring
ing cheers Of two great nations follow
him 70 the throne Of the ancient game.
Rosnanes of Sport nsa.,
Hutchison's victory is one of the
greatest romances Of sport, and sport,
# You dig below the surface, has as
marry romaf.ces ss Texas hes steers.
As a wee bairn he started his golf
career as ST. Andrews caddie, where
IA that ancient Scottish citadel by the
sea golf ages run from five TO eighty.
Now, twenty years later, he goes
back to that historic course to win the
mgin seeptre Of the game by one Of
the most remarkai3le- performances
ever known. Only follow his dazzling
journey to the peak
|. He led the field in the qualifying
round by a safe margin, proving his
superiority from the start. This was
enough to jinx any one but d goIhng
immortal.
2. He knocked three strokes from the
best mark ever turned in at St. An
erews IN an open championship, 229
by BRAID many years ago.
., He averaged shade under IA for
sisat consecutive rounds, linking with
Els nrnhancy an amazing consistency.
l. he made the short eighth hole in
one, the second time one had ever
sesn made~in British open. Beyond
ms ms tee shot at the 275-yard ninth
alt tne back OF the cup for another one,
where he needed but three strokes on
saese two successive holes against a
par OFT. To knock four strokes from
AsT IN TWO successive holes is another
open Championship record
., After having apparently faded out
"a ais third round, where his putting
ss, soash wen astray, he suddenly reeoy-
sa saeu and came back in a remarkable
o. Andwh at last it was up to him to
eunch his crown he left his young op-
ponenf nine strokes in the rear BY
amazing golf with all conditions con-
s!dered.
