Seemed to Tighten
Goodman seemed to tighten up. AS
he waited for marshals to regain con-
troll Of the gallery at each tee. OFT
the eighth, 22seyarder, Goodman
put spoon shot into q left trap.
He blasted out within Is feet of the
cup and took two puts for S, going
two over par He had to wait 10 min
utes before playing this hole and
hundreds in the gallery, due to the
heat and the struggle, deserted the

ernoon.

behind Goodman at the start of the
last round, went out with a sizzling
80, four strokes better than par. He
had four brides and was never over
par.

display around the greens, finished

tacular than when he fired a record
66 Friday and kept gallery OF more
than 1000 spectators in an uproar,

green's and did not manifest tho
slightest sign Of cracking under this
pressure Of beating off all profess
Sional challengers.
