with eagles on two and three he was
leading / up. His drive on the second
hc.c lit on ttc green a few feet from
the pin and he holed out in eagle
I % while Nimmo took a five after a
bit of misfortune. On hole three
Cook made : beautiful drive. landing
in a valley just this side Of the green.

hrlved the fourth and Nimmo won
the fifth when Cooks ball took the
wrong english on an approach shot.
gave Cook a ! up advantage when
the Devils Lake entrant missed a
three-foot putt which would have given
H.. an even break on the hole. Both
played par golf on the eighth but
Cock made 1t two up when he pared
the ninth after sending hts first shot
235 yards to the green.

dropped the first three holes On the
second nine. Evidently he was not
acquainted with the exceptional speed
CT the local green's, putting long on
each occasion. Both played par on the
fourth and fifth holes but Nimmo
tex an extra stroke after his putt
had rolled too ia on the sixth. They
h-lved the seven with birdie threes
and Nimmo took the eighth with a
birdie four. With a chance Of break
