New-York tribune., 1922-07-28


here with the remarkable score of 2
Starting the last round back of three
such wonderful golfers as Jim Barnes,
former national open champion; Bob
Macdonald, metropolitan open title
holder, and John Golden, the stocky
home-bred of the Tuxedo Club, Farrell
swept past this trio with fine 81 that
left the others groggy and finished six
strokes ahead OF Golden, who was sec
ond with score of 294.
Emmett French, another home bred.
who captaIned the American profess
sional team on its trip to Great Britain
last year, also staged great comeback
on the final round, and his score of II,
three strokes under par, gave him third
money, with total score of 296.
Barnes was fourth with score of
ssS and Macdonald and Mitchell tied
for fifth with an even 500. Farrell's
81 on the last round equals Barnes's
record for the old course made two
years ago and establishes a new mark
for the reconstructed layout, which
most of the professionals think is at
least two shots harder.
A Stirring Last Round
That last round was whirlwind af-
fair with several top notchers making
strenuous fight for the victory. Al.
the end of yesterdays play Golden,
the leader; Dan Williams, Barnes, Far
rell, Macdonald, Joe Whitehead, Bobby
Cruickshank and Emmet French were
oil in the race with good scores. With
that crew awaiting the final drive a
stirring struggle loomed up.
Golden, Barnes, Macdonald and Far
rell were the boys who hung on grimly
in the third round, which is always
the biggest and hardest test in any
medal play tournament. Each Of
these four, with fine morning dash,
was in fine position forthat last
round. Little Williams had cracked
vide open under the strain. Mitchell,
French and Cruickshank played stead
ily enough in the morning, but steady
golf didn't bring anything in this
meeting, what with several of the stars
shooting constantly for brides.
Farrell, Golden and Barnes all had
their troubles in the morning, but each
had enough reserve strength and poise
to weather the storm. Mcdonald, only,
avoided trouble on this round, and his
score of II was first class perform
ance, which left him two shots behind
Golden.
The Tuxedo lad maintained his lead
on the third round. Peculiarly the sew
enth hole nearly ruined each of the
above-named trio in the morning Far
rel, for instance, with II in sight
banged full iron shot against the
bank Of a trap in front of the green.
Barens's Shot Clears Green
He took three to get out and got
down long putt for his 6. Barnes
using a spoon for his second on this
hole, went over the green into the road
beyond. The Pelham star had prac-
iically an rnplayable lie. His first at
tempt to get out resulted in the bal
rebounding back of him. He Clipped
up nicely on his next though and got
his 5. Golden was in thick rough or
his drive, but got out we'll and also
got his s.
