Miller B. Stevinson. of Columbia
Country Club and District amateur
champion, can lay his victory Of /
up over 17-year-old Roger Peacock,
Of Indian Spring, in the Congress
sional Club finals to two extraor-
dinary shots he manipulated on the
fifteenth hole.
He hammered his tee shot
into the rough on the right and
was faced with an inviting trap
and elevated green. Also the
grass was wet from the storm
and there was danger Of the
bali shooting off at angles:
SteVinsOn, nevertheless played
his iron inches over the, edge OF
the green, though still about
80 feet distant from the pin.
] Peacock, straight with his tee, ap-
preached close and the hole seemed
to be his share, which would have
placed him one UP. Stevinson,
however, nearly holed out his
long putt, while Peacock, unstrunS
by Stevinson's recovery, failed to
get down and the hole was halved
In As.
The fact that Stevinson obtained
q halve after the hole seemed lost
proved the deciding point in the
battle, as Peacock had squared the
match on the previous hole when
Stevinson picked up after sending
his tee shot out of bounds and
playing his next two poorly.
The comeback of Stevinson de-
nnoralized his 1ess-seasoned foe as
evidenced on the short 146-yards No.
. 16. Peacock overplayed the green
and was trapped, while Stevinson
was up close.
The youthful Indian Spring
player lost control at this criti-
cal moment and arcIled his Sec
ond over the green into another
trap. He finally succeeded in
reaching the green with his
b third, pitching past the cup and
his putt was short. StevinsOn
safely putted close and Peacock
conceded the hole, StevinsOn
going up. This was the mar
/. gin Of victory as the next two
holes were halved.
However, steadiness tempered by
experienced years of competitive
play, was the principle role in de-
Gliding the contest, Peacock, playing
for the first time in a tourney
finals. was not disgraced. He
fought the District amateur champ
to the final green and that should
salve the stings of defeat. How
ever, he can look back to his fran
tic shots on the sixteenth.
The winner assumed the lead on
the fifth when he was down in a
birdie while Peacock needed four
strokes to reach the green. The
Columbia player was never passed
after this hole, though overtaken
on the incoming nine.
STEVENSON stretched his margin
TO two by coping the seventh
when Peacock stymied himself with
his own putt. Peacock sliced
Stevinson's lead on the next. His
Abrassie second slid off into the
watery trap but pitched out neatly
and sunk his 15-foot putt. Stevin-
sons bid for a birdie hung on the
lip Of the cup.
Peacock earned a halve on
the ninth after the hole
appeared lost. He played his
iron shot strong and carried
/ green. STEVENSON z0Omed
beautiful iron shot down the
alley and then lapsed into
mediOcrity by failing to hole
out In the necessary two
puts.
The pair then battled along on
aeven terms until that fifteenth
where Peacock permitted those
mental hazards to tear down his
morale
