TINE state Junior golf crown was
Il safely nestled on the blond
head of Harold Brewer, West La
fayette, Purdue university student
today. Playing over his home
course. West Lafayette Country
Club, Brewer captured the tenth an
nual championship yesterday with a
5-and-4 victory over Tom Marshall
Culver grocery clerk, in the final
thirty -siX-hole match. 1t was the
climax to a week of gruelling tour
nament play.
Getting away to a flying start
in the morning round, young
Brewer piled up a Cup lead for
nine holes with a 33, two under
par. He needed it, because young
Marshall was even par for the dis
lance.
Marshall oversight and a late
arrival at the course apparently
left him a bit nervous. He three
putted on the first green and was
one down before he hardly knew
he was in a golf match. He saw
Brewer drop a twelve-foo putt on
the second hole to be two down.
Il
n EARSHALL fired a birdie on No.
1V1 to get one back, but lost the
gain almost Immediately when he
missed a shot in a trap on No 7.
Trying desperately to get back lost
ground, he scored a birdie on No. 9,
only to see Brewer do the same
thing. He was in the sorry spot of
being even par and two down at the
end of nine holes.
After winning the tenth hole
when Brewer hit into the woods, the
Culver boy saw two puts of less
than three feet go skidding by the
hole and instead Of winning or halv-
ing, he lost them and was three
down at the end of fourteen holes
DREWER went over the green on
- No. IS and Marshall collected
himself enough to win that hole He
missed a putt on the next green and
halved the hole. Then, apparently
angry, he Smacked one with bras
sic from the rough to reach the
green and win the next hole. Brewer
failed to get out Of the same rough.
One down and one to go before
reaching the half way mark of the
match, Marshall matched shots
with Brewer until they reached the
green in two each. 1t was case Of
getting a birdie to win. After care
full study of his forty-foot putt,
Marshall tapped the ball and it never
hesitated in its travel to the cup.
They we're all even.
THE thrilling match these two
4 young linksmen had staged for
eighteen holes was extended for
three more holes of the afternoon
play as they halved each hole. Then
an unusual thing happened. Just
as Marshall was about to drive from
the twenty second tee, a dog ran
between his legs. After stepping
away from the ball and trying to
collect his composure Marshall took
stance again His drive went into
the woods and he lost the hole.
Marshall got a good break on the
next hole, however, when his sec
end shot bounced out of a trap and
on to the green. Brewer played
the hole badly, driving one ball out
CT bounds, and the match was all
square again.
About this time Brewers putter
got hot. He sank a twenty footer
to halve the next hole, after play
ing three wild shots. He dropped
ten-foot putt to win the next hole
in par, after Marshall found trap.
A twelve-foot putt gave him a bir-
die on No. 26 and a ten-foot putt
gave him another birdie on No. q.
In spite of the two bad holes,
Brewer was out in Sc, one over par,
and held a commanding 3-up lead as
they swung into the final lap.
DOTH players were nervous and
ID played their approach shots
short on No. %. Marshall was
short and went down. He took
three puts from the edge with a
chance to win No. 29 and lost there
to be 5 down.
The match went dormie when
they halved the next hole. Never
was a hole played more perfectly
than Brewer played the thirty-sec-
ond. He was on the green putting
for a birdie when all he needed was
a halve to claim the verdict.
The putter that had helped Mar
shall work out of the hole in the
morning. went sour on him in the
afternoon and when his short game
