Led by a hard-hitting, smooth
stroking, youngster from down
state, the field OF contestants in
the national amateur golf cham
pionship resumed today its pursuit
OF the coveted thirty-two places
which will reward the low scorers
who have qualified for match play
by nightfall.
Fame, a tickle jade at best,
rendered more Eighty by the va
carries of golf. perched temporarily
atop the curly thatch OF 2l-year-
old Gibson Dunlap, student at the
University of California at Los An
geles, who set the pace on the
opening day of the thirty-third ma
tional amateur tournament with a
surprising 50, three strokes under
par for Pebble Beach.
Unheralded edible" shared hon.
ors Monday with Bobby Jones, the
perennial champion. 1t is correct
to say that he stole the Atlantan's
thunder.
TKumphs Under Strain
Bobby, after all. did not do so
badly Monday, carding a character
istic 10 to the accompaniment Of
delighted whoops from the largest
gallery that ever attended a qualify
ing round in national champion
ship.
But admitting that Jones was his
own inimitable self, the first days
hohors rightly rest with the young
Los Angeles collegian. There were
only two real shots fired Monday,
as a matter Of fact, and they rang
out "bang-bang" as Gibbie followed
Bobby to the eighteenth green. The
1873 other Indians bit the dust.
Under the strain Of knowing that
he had to shoot two under par fig
ures for the last six holes Of the
difficult championship course, Young
Dunlap showed at most a modlcum
of concern. He went out and did
it. Coming up to the eighteenth, he
needed a birdie four on the hardest
hole of the course. Par five would
have tied him with the champion,
whose acclaim still was rolling from
5000 Threats out across the blue
green Pacific as Dunlap prepared
to play.
Birdie on 18th
This youngster, who went out IN
front Of the pack early today, ism 7
the kind to play safe, however. he
went out after that birdie and
bagged it. And then he said, when
it was over, that the fifteen-foot
putt he sank on the home green
hadn't given him moments pause.
AS for Bob Jones, he demon
strated, as every one predicted, that
he will be exceedingly hard to beat
at Pebble Beach.
This pair alone broke par Monday.
But within ten strokes OF the 1ast-
stepping young Californian were
