cans, Bobby Cruickshank, Johnny
Farrell. Tommy Armour and Bill
Mehlhorn, occupying four of the
next six places at this point, the
corpse was almost definitely identi-
fled as British prestige.
Some Fancy Putting
Diegel started for home armed
with the realization that he needed
close to par for the last nine. So
he made certain of 1t by shooting
exactly par. And a very troublous
time he had in getting 1t.
At the tenth, good tee shot was
followed by q second that barely
cleared q bunker and then he
pitched badly to the green. 1t
looked like the blow.off. But it
wasn't. For Diegel blandIy sank q
20-footer for a par. He drove to
the rough at the eleventh, but
fine out carried him to the green,
rs feet past the pin. He almost
downed the approach putt and took
another 4.
At the twelfth, he hit one right
>on the line off the tee and spanked
his second home, the ball rolling
with In four feet of the pin,
beauty. When he dropped the putt
for a birdie, the gallery went wild.
His pitch from the tee to the
thirteenth green was wide of the
pin by IS feet and his first putt
was we'll short. But down went the
next for a par 3.
This was the lad who had been
complaining about his putting.
Sinks . lO-FOOter
The fourteenth witnessed some
further madness on the green. His
drive was long and straight. his
second long and crooked. 1t was a
slice to the rough, hut Diegel
saved it with a nice pitch to within
10 feet of the pin. Yes. he sank
that putt, too.
He actually missed q short one
at the fifteenth, where his approach
reached the edge Of the green and
his run.up putt was short by three
feet. And he blew 1t!
At the seventeenth, two good shots
got him home, Is feet from the
cup. from which point he needed
three puts. The second of these
was only 8 feet in length, Diegel
being disturbed in mid-stroke by
camera man. The break probably
cost Diegel a well'mertted birdie on
the hole.
He was much disturbed by the
incident. but the worst was yet to
come. Two more shots, long and
true, got him home at the eight
eenth. some 30 feet to the right of
the pin. His approach putt was
good one, just short of the cup.
Before he made 1t. however, an
other inquiring photographers hal
to be Quelled, Diegel signifying his
disgust by tossing his putter into
the air and walking back to the
edge of the green. When all was
tranquil again, he got down in two
puts for a par 4.
