plating the near-perfect round of golf
he played yesterday to score 64 over
his own course, 7 better than par, and
only l stroke above the astounding So
with which he set a course record for
the Kenwood layout last year.
Stroking the ball perfectly from tee
to green and knocking in lengthy puts
with monotonous regularity, Houghton
picked up eight brides in this scintil-
lating exhibition, blazing his way over
the first nine in 30 and returning in
the same figure. He had 10 one-putt
green's during the round one with three
puts and seven with the regulation
two puts
Houghton was playing with V. c.
Dickey, Walter w Cunningham and
w. r. McCallum. His exhibition easily
was the finest performance turned in
by any professional around washing
ton this year. On only one hole did
the Kenwood pro go over par: Trying
too hard for a birdie 8 at the ninth
hole, he put his approach putt feet
above the hole on the sloping green
and missed. But on nearly every
other hole of the round he banged in
puts ranging from feet up to 25 feet
for brides. climaxing his amazing dis
play of golf with a 15-footer for
birdie on the eighteenth. A putt for
an eagle 3 on the twelfth hole hit the
cup and refused to drop. remaining
outside by a quarter inch.
Monday Houghton played the last
nine in 81 strokes for a score OF 81.
Yesterday he played the two mines IN
GA. His last 27 holes have been played
in II strokes better than par. If finer
golf has been seen around Washington
we haven't heard of it. Houghton
birdied the third fourth, fifth and sixth
in a row. Going to the ninth hole. he
had a for 81, but he 3-putted the
green.
He started right in again on the next
nine, getting birds on the eleventh,
twelfth and thirteenth in a row. His
only serious trouble came on the flf-
teenth, where a hooked drive left him
behind a tree He hit the tree with
his second shot, pitched on the green
