typical Jones birdie. a circumstance
that has been the rule rather than
the exception in this tournament.
On this occasion, he missed the

Rad holes at that were the tWelfth
and fourteenth and his only real

eleventh. where he got birdie 8.
He gave a customary Jones per-

for a par but, after getting home
with his second at the eleventh, ne
sighted carefully along the line or
40.foot putt and dropped it firmly
in the hole, while a gallery or
5000 screamed In ecstacy.
Bobby's 5 at the twelfth was the
result of a misdirected approach,
shot that has caused him many
painful moments in this tourna.

this was not one of those times.
He had lost a stroke and 1t STAYED

short thirteenth was an easy 3, al
though he made his approach putt
roll very close.
Then came his announcement or
the fourteenth. His tee shot LETT
him so deep in the woods that ne
was forced to play safe, merely
chipping out. Then he pressed on
his third and over-carried the green.
He couldn't get down with his first
putt, after chipping on in four.
Bobby again took charge of the
orthodox pars on each, but as the
490.yard home hole. he was well
down in the fairway with his Sec

the left OF the pin. The approach
putt wouldn't go down and he

and shot more or less methodical
golf, getting home with a drive
and pitch at each of the tenth
and eleventh holes for par As. He
exceeded par, in spite of his care
fuiness, at the twelfth. Here he
lofted his second into the rough
and his third went over the green
into a ditch. He got on with his
fourth and, then concentrating
with everything he had. he dow1ed
a 15-foot put for a 5. The rest Of
