TROON, Scotland, June l5.-
Walter Hagen is today the favorite.
at prohibitive odds, to win the
British open golf championship.
He has demonstrated how wonder
full a player he is by his remarkable
playing under pressure. His mag.
nificent comeback in the afternoon
yesterday, when he made the
course in II, after making as in the
morning, created great enthusiasm
for him. He apparently loves to
play his best to come up from be-
hind.
c. A. whitcombe and Arthur
Havers, leading with 146 each, are
closely pressed by Hagen with
The leaders of the younger
British school of players appear to
be playing good golf. but they have
not demonstrated their finishing
powers, such as exhibited by Hagen.
I believe the grea t home-bred
players from the United States Will
repeat their previous successes.
The striking feature OF the PLAY
so far is the failure Of any Of the
first.rank players Of Britain to be
well up at the top. Abe Mitchell,
George Duncan, and Edward Ray
are somewhere IN about the middle
of the field, leaving the duty OF
repelling the American stars to the
younger men.
Enormous crowds were out to
watch the play. Hagen drew the
largest gallery, fully 5000 watch
ing him.
There Is no doubt Hagen Is the
master player among the leaders,
and should repeat his triumph at
