Armour shot strictly profeS-
sional golf all the way to the
turn The feature of his play
was the deadly work executed
with his iron clubs. He took a 5
on the long sixth when he was
short with his two wood shots
and required long nlbllck pitch
to get on. The ball dropped to
the left of the pin and two puts
were necessary.
He picked up a stroke on par
at the eighth when he drove to
the green and hOled the putt
for a birdie 2, but dropped
back to par on the ninth, where
he three-putted the green.
Both wind and Lady Luck had
been with Armour to the turn,
but Lady Luck declined to face
that boiSterous wind going home.
Five spots broke out all over
Armour's card.
Three Puts Tenth
He three-putted the tenth, and
was very weak with his putting
on the next two. He got trio
of SIS. He caught a birdie ? on
the thirteenth by sinking 15-
yard putt. He picked up another
5 on the famous spectacle" hole,
where it cost him three strokes
to get on.
On the fifteenth he hit poor
iron shot which ran off the fair
way, but he recovered with his
third which put him on the green,
and he downed a 15-yard putt
for a 4.
On the seventeenth he pulled
his iron second deep into the
gOrse for a terrible lie. Then
he brought forth a willing
cheer from the gallery by laying
the ball down on the green
with a beautiful mashie shot.
Two puts gave him a 5. On
the eighteenth he purpOsely
played short of the burn for
! safety. Three to get on and
two puts gave him a final 5.
Jose Jurado, brilliant Argen,
tinean golfing star. pushed him
self to the forefront by shooting
a II for a 36-hole total Of 147.
