| Shorey and Cox were square through
the sixth hole in the final round, but
Shorey won the seventh to start a
succession Of wins that brought him
victory on the fifteenth. Cox skidded
badly from the sixth hole on, enabling
Shorey to win with golf above par, IN
decided contrast to the colorful final
of a year ago, which found George

| under an onslaught of brides and
eagles.
Shorey left Cox plenty of oppor-
tunities in the final round, which the
Beaver Dam player was unable tC
seize. Cox's poor tee shots were prob
ably the leading factor in costing him
the final match.
