Corkran was semi -hnaiIst over
this course in 1915. where he was
eliminated by Evans, the winner, and
where Bob Jones first Sprang INTO
fame with the excellence of Won-
dcrful game.
The same fiawless performer of In
wood and EHossmoor in medal play.
Bobby Jones had too much TO over
come in the face of the great 81
made by Corkran on Saturday. Bobby
added another - yesterday to his
similar card of Saturday for 36-hoie
total of l44. while just a few holes
back of him came torkran. with a
had out nine OF A., which every one
thought had eliminated him as IA
contender for the medal. But Cork
ran burned up the last nine with
three 3s, two of them brides, a at
the thirteenth. and. even though he
had IS on the par eleventh and
twelfth, he was back in 3S for card
of -.
Corkran drew the gallery, which
svmpathized with the former Balt-
morean when he missed a putt and
then marveled at the gameness and
mechanical accuracy of his game
over the final stretch. He missed only
one shot over the last nine holes. his
second to the tricky eleventh. At the
sixteenth he hit his tee shot so far ne
got home with mashIe. where
most of the others used wooden clubs.
Jones had 8 at the second hole,
where he pulled his second shot, and
finished the nine with 81. At this
point he had caught Corkran. But
Corkran's 33 on the last nine was too
good for the brilliant Southern youth.
Mackenzie Has Troubles.
Although Mackenzie had struggle
from the second hole in the afternoon to
of
got himself well in hand a the turn
and breezed back in 56.for total OF
so and 36-hole aggregate OF lo5,
well within the qualifying limit.
Dunphy added d "A yesterday to
his II of Saturday and was in with
strokes to spare. Both the Washing
ton qualifiers are hitting the ball well
and steady -on the green.
Dunphy had what he termed an
easy round yesterday, one in which
everything went along smoothly with
no shots far enough off the line to
cause him trouble. He pushed his
tee shots at the second and eight
eenth both holes costing him D. out

fourteenth where he took > and fol-
lowed with another }. due to missed
3-foot putt at the fifteenth. but he put a
fun iron second shot on the sixteenth
and was down IN al tiliS udHSei Jus

seventeenth overran the green, he got a
His ; at the last hole came through
a pushed tee shot.
Mackenzie'S first nine yesterday
was a nightmare of hooked tee shots
and missed puts. with three os in
it and three 0s on par holes. He
got par at the 10th. pitched short
Of the 11th, but got d , and followed
a fine 4 at the 18th with a 2O-foot
putt at the 18th, which found the
bottom Of the cup for a deuce. After
that he was all right, for he holed
another good putt at the l4th and
although he topped his tee shot at
the 18th he got a j. Roland hit d
very long tee shot at the 18th and

at the last hole, which he failed to
get dead after two fine wooden shots.
