 Mac Smith played easy golf to- day. At no time did he seem to apply pressure even when in difhculty. Lo. played so we'll to-day. They were afraid that he had over-extended himself in an attempt to win tho relatively empty medal honors. and if they could have chosen, they would have seen him make a higher score in his last qualifying test, saw ing one or both of his par-breaking rounds for the championship proper,
 He was out in 37. one stroke over par, and home in 34, two below. He found a bunker on his second tee shot. He came out strongly and went into q second bunker. He mad a clev- and stopped four yards short of the pin. He ran down the putt for par four.
 Mac Smith required four strokes to reach the sixth. This hole is the most difficult of all on the tricky Carnoustie course. Boht his brassie and niblick shots were short on this hole. He required two butts and carded a six, one stroke above par.
 He was also one stroke above par. on the tenth when he used three butts after having reached the green nj two. Each of the other 16 holes was played in orthodox fashion, ex- cept that he scored birdies on three through clever putting.

 Carnoustie, Scotland, June D. (UP)-Playing under cloudy skies and with the accompaniment of chilly breezes. the field in the Bri- tish open golf championship went into its final qualifying round to- day.
