Another 4 would give Chick his fourth

the cup, many of which might rea-
sonably have been expec cted to drop.

he might have been IS or better, but
he had one of those days where the
ball simply would not drop.
He missed only two shots through

Chris missed four-foot putt by

kind that might just as well have
