New-York tribune., 1922-03-05

Starting the morning round FIVE
strokes behind his rival, Diegel, by
virtue of some stellar golf by noon
time had cut the lead of Sarazen to
three shots. 1t looked as if the local
luminary would win the first prize of
81 600. But in the afternoon Sarazen
cut loose with such q fine round of
golf that he not only won out with
plenty to spare, but captured the prize
for the best round of the tournament.
His last round OF 72 gave him \ total
of 294 for the meeting. He was the
only player in the field in fact to break
800.
Diegel had to be content with q
score of 302. which gave him second
money by two strokes. Cyril Walker,
of the Englewood Club, was third
with score of 304. and then came
Jock Hutchison, British open cham
pion, with q score of 30S. His tour
ing partner, long Jim Barnes, United
States open champion, finished in tie
with Freddie Mcleod, of Columbia, for
seventh place. Charles Hoffner, of
tached, finished ahead of Mcleod and
Barnes. Willie Melhorn, Tom Lslly
and Albert Gullickson were the others
to finish in the money.
Sarazen's Putting Accurate
tiful golf and deserved his victory.
Particularly did the lad play we'll
around the greens. His approaches
were generally on the pin and his put
ting WAS deadly accurate.
In the afternoon, instead of slipping
eff, as many figured he would do, the
youngster came back with beautiful
round, the best of the lot, and vindi-
Gated the judgment of those who de-
clare that he is real golfer who is
we'll on his way to becoming cham
pion.
Sarazen has played fine golf in the
various Southern tournaments this win
ter, and has proved on each occasion
that he is player who must hence
forth be reckoned with. His two rounds
to-day were made as follows:

Runner-Up Sensational
Diegel, of course, has by this time
established himself as great little
player. He showed flashes of wonder
as we'll as Sarazen. The local star
kept in the running most of the way by
his wonderful recoveries. He managed
to pull off a sensational shot of some
kind on a majority of the holes. Time
and again he emerged safely from a
trap after it looked as if he must sure
ly be forced to the rear.
Jock Hutchinson started to burn up
the course in the morning, but took
three puts on the last two greens
going out. At that he had 36, one
over par, and was right In line for q
crack at the championship. But at the
tenth hole he took three more puts,
and instead of having SO or 10, as he
might have had, the Hutch wound up
with a 73.
In the afternoon he failed to hold
the pace. He and Barnes are some
what fatigued from their long tour and
not on edge for tournament play.
Barnes Makes Comeback
The Pelham star scored badly in the
morning, due mostly to poor putting.
On several green's he had as many as
four puts. Determined to show his
real worth, the big fellow stepped out
in the afternoon and shot a grand
round Of 73. He, too, had an excellent
chance to break 70, as he was out in So
and going strong. At the fifteenth hole
he was two under fours. At the six
teenth he missed a short putt for a
four and at the seventeenth he took
three extra puts for 6.
Freddie Mcleod. after poor start
yesterday, made a great comeback to-
day to earn a tie with Barnes for sew
entn place. Hoffner and O'Hara, al
though they did not perform brilliant
ly, were steady all the way.
The prize money was distributed to
ten players. Sarazen received $1,000,
Diegel was awarded $3.50 as runner-up,
Walker won $500 and Jock Hutchison
received $3.50.
