Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-07-22

both halves of the draw, eight
IL Washington players were COM
peting today in the first round
of the first flight in the 1927 edition
of the Maryland Country Club tourna-
ment.
Led by the apparently invincible
George j. Voigt of Bannockburn. who
performed up to his usual impeccable
style yesterday i'm winning the quail
fying medal with par shattering 10,
three Washington players were in the
top half of the draw in the first
flight, while five were scattered
through the low half of the pairings,
with two of them meeting in the first
round.
The rest of the more than two score
entrants from the Capital who turned
in cards in the medal round yesterday
were scattered through the balance
of the seven flights. with the Lame
duck" or last flight, composed largely
Of golfers from the Capital.
Again Voigt must be held to be
the favorite to win the tournament
not only because he won last year.
and romped through a sterling field
to win the qualifying round yesterday
with a sterling 10! but because it came
so easily to the Bannockburn star
when he started in mediocre fashion
and looked none too certain to qualify
through the fourth hole. For. let 1t
be known, it took more than hand
full of golf to qualify in the first flight
over this sunbaked course yesterday.
Seventy-eight was the last figure to
make the first fight and So was the
last score to make the sixth. OF
course, the seventh flight Is more or
less joke. for the Maryland Country
Club simply qualified the visiting
Washington players no matter what
their scores.
Voigt's winning card of 70 was
beautifully consistent golf. The Ban
uockburn star was over the first nine
in 80. / over par, but came back in
the same figures, under par, to lead
Reid w. Digges of Indian Spring and
A. M. Knapp and B. Warren Corkran
of the Baltimore Country Club, who
were bracketed at second place with
73s.
Voigt was trapped at the first hole.
but executed par 4. He looked like a
sure 6 at the fourth, but managed to
get down a good putt for a 5. finish.
ing the nine with birdie at the
short ninth.
over the last nine he was flawless,
for he started with birdie 4 on the
long tenth and gathered in another
birdie at the fifteenth. where he
hooked far into the rough and laid a
spade mashie shot within inches of
the pin. He finished with a trio Of Is
for his card of 20, the best amateur
mark that has been made in medal
play competition over the Maryland
Country Club course.
Several Washingtonians, among
them Albert r. Mackenzie, George p.
James and w. Fl. McCallum withdrew
from the tournament.
