rounds. He had every reason to believe
he could continue that kind of golf.
But at the tricky third hole of that
tricky Woodholme course the heavens
opened up and fell on the head of the
Chevy Chase mentor.
Bob played good shot to that green,
but 1t rolled down the hill. Again he
tried to get it on the green. And again,
and again. He finally holed out in z
strokes. And that was the start of the
avalanche. Bob couldn't get anything
going right after that, while Sarazen
breezed home with a par to win the
title and the big dough that the winner
got. Bob's score for the final round
was 84-13 strokes over par-but he
deserved far better than that.
Not disturbed by the hard fairways
and the tricky rolls of the putting
green's, Sarazen had a II over the final
round for 72-hole total of 290, to win
first place from Willie MacFarlane, tall
bespectacled Scot from Oak Ridge, N. Y.
who won the national open champion
ship back in 1925. And just to show
how these golf tournaments are settled,
We watched MacFarlane hole a chip
shot from the edge of the green at the
seventy-Second for total of 294, while
young George Smith of Morristown,
N. j., who had played fine golf over the
last day, took puts on the same green
for total of 295.
Glenn S. Spencer of the Maryland
Country Club, turned in a record break

among the middle Atlantic professionals

went to the visiting pros from the
metropolitan area.
They ran in this order. Sara1en, Mac
Farlane, Smith, Ed Dudley, Tony Ma
nero, Paul Runyan and Bill Mehlhorn,
with Spencer getting a slim slice of the
money. Perhaps the pros will wise

that they have championship of their
own and keep the money for themselves
They guaranteed 81 500 and had TO
scurry around last night to raise it.
And most of it went to the visitors
