ANDY NELSON WINS
SECOND GOLF TITLE
Beats Field to Win Second
Time; Chas. Burmeister Low
Medalist With 3S

Andy Nelson again demonstrated
that he was the peer of Redwood
Falls golfers by successfully defend
ing his Club Championship last Sun
day in the annual Individual Tourna-
ment held here. By eliminating Har-
Ian Jaehning on the 9th hole, Mel
son won a second leg on the coveted
cup and the 1929 championship.
Playing his usual steady game
much the same as his display of golf,
/ in 1923 in which he won the cham
pionship, Nelson took them out as
fast as they came to him. Starting
out in the morning round, matched
against L. J. Kise, he halved the
hole with Mr.. Kise and took the next
five to beat Kise and 3. His sec
ound round came with R. V. Ochs,
who, earlier had eliminated A. R. A.
Laudon in 10 holes. Nelson shot
par on the 7th hole to put Ochs out
of running. Score 3 and 2.
His hardest test came against
Harlan Jaehning in the final round
of the flight. Nelson pared the
first two holes to take decided lead
from his younger opponent. Number
three, par 3, proved bad for Nelson
when he took 5. Jaehning went
one over par to win this hole. On
number Jaehning again demonstrat-
ed that he was much in the running
by pairing the hole to even the count
against Nelson.
Nelson came back on the 500 yard
number 5, with and par. Jaehn-
ir,y took six on this hole. Halving
number six gave Nelson one up,
which he increased to two on num-
Der seven by PAIRING the hole, while
Jaehning took 4. Jaehning came
back on number with a four, one
over par, to cut the lead to one. On
number 8 Nelson shot another par
to end the Tournament, while Jaehn-
ing took 5.
The first round of the champion
ship flight started with Charles
Burmeister and Palmer Kise matched.
kise was eliminated on the seventh, 3
and 2. Jaehning drew Nels Ryerson
for his first round, and although Mr..
Ryerson shot SO and won the 9th
hole to tie the game, he lost on num-
Der 10. Burmeister was favored to
win from Jaehning and to go into
the finals against Nelson. Shooting
way off form, Burmeister was taken
out by Jaehning and /.
The qualification round brought
out a So for Burmeister, who, with
that count took low medalist score

Kise shot 42's to qualify, while Ry-
erson and Nelson shot 43's and l.. J.
