13 Lucky for Tolley.
Thirteen may be unlucky for some
people but after this 1t will be Cyril

the green. he looked to be down
and hopelessly crushed. He had
great shot to get even close to the
pin but he played a still greater
shot by holeing his pitch. winning
a hole that he had lost.
In the afternoon Tolley came to
the same hole 3 down and to
play. His tee shot caught q trap
and his out left him a full pitch
to the green. AS Knepper was on
in 2, Tolley again looked to be
distanced. but on this occasion he
holed a 30footer for his 4. where
knepper took 3 puts. Once again
he saved two holes by almost

stretch of fairway left. This
quick shift threw Knepper of his
balance as he hooked his tee shot
to the fourteenth up against the
rock wall and conceded the hole.
