SETS RECORD
WITH 81 At
COLUMBIA
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


He's barely taller than Singer
midget but George Diffenhaugh,
the Indian Spring pro, carries
INT. in his golf clubs.
Though losing the Maryland
open championship by a single
stroke, Diffenbaugh today is the
proud owner of a new competl-
tive record of 81, three under
par, for the Columbia Country
Club course.
Diffenbaugh's 81 gave him a
four-stroke lead over the field at
the end of the first 18 holes
yesterday but his putter SHIN
mied on the final 18 and he
wound up with 78 for 36-hole
total of 145.
NOsed Out By HOughtOn
He was noSed out for the title
by AL Houghton, the easy swing
ing pro from kenwood Country
Club, who was four strokes back
of Diffenbaugh as they started
SAAS AAAA~A JONAA4NJ'
Diffenbaugh'S 81 was due to
sharp recoveries and deft putting.
At that, he might have come
home winner had he not
muffed short puts on the fif.
teenth and seventeenth green's in
his afternoon round. But Hough-
ton also missed several holeable
puts, so there you are.
Houghton, Diff nbaugh and
Maury Fitzgerald, Kenwood Club
amateur, cracked par wide open
on the par five twelfth hole, 500
yards. All reached the green in
two strokes, and each within IL
feet of the pin. Houghton's putt
trimmed the cup for an eagle,
but Fitzgerald canned a three
footer and Diffenbaugh sunk
one-footer, giving each an eagle.
Diffenbaugh's drive, with the
wind behind him, carried over
the hill and covered close to
400 yards.
Freddy Mcleod FalterS
Freddy Mcleod, veteran CoIum-
b1a pro whose II tied him with
Houghton for second at the end
Of the morning round, couldn't
get his shots working properly in
the afternoon and he finished
with II for 148. The cards of
