TTOW much effect the necessity
IL of sitting at the first tee for 20
minutes waiting for his playing
partner to show up had OH the vet
eran is not known, but the pSychol-
ogy had it's effect on Buds game,
for he won three of the first four
holes in the afternoon round with
brides and squared the match on
the twenty green. He
dropped a two-footer on No. 10, a
20-footer on No. 81 and a three
footer on No. %, but he lost No. 20
when he found the rough.
Simpson won No. % with par,
but missed a short putt on No. "a
for par. The veteran was out
wardly disturbed when the large
delegation of Anderson fans who
had motored over to cheer their
favorite burst forth with cheers
when the veteran missed the putt.
It was a similar outbreak to the one
made a week ago during the junior
tournament at Anderson when
Bobby Dale, indianapolis youngSter,
was playing Bud in the final match.
CIMPSON was all over the lot on
- the next hole, finally getting
down a long putt after a remark
able recovery from almost unplay-
able rough and gained halved hole.
Pettigrew went one up with a IL
foot putt for a birdie on No. rs and
increased it to two up with a par
on No. 81 where Simpson again
found the rough. The new cham
pion had taken only "a blows, two
under par, on the outgoing after
noon nine to change from two down
to two up within nine holes of play.
He sank a 12-foot putt for par
and win on No. % after both drove
into the rough from the tee. He
held on to the margin on the next
five holes, Simpson being unable to
win from couple of bogies and
the margin was still three-up as
they walked to the thirty-third tee.
Pettigrew drove into a trap and
Simpson played to the middle of the
green for a par to win. Pettlgrew
was in the rough with his drive
on No. "a and over the green with
his recovery to lose that hole. Slmp-
son was now only one down and two
to 60. The thirty-f1fth was halved
in pars, neither having very good
chance to win, but on the thirty
sixth, it appeared an extra hole
match was in store.
DOTH sliced a bit on their drives
- and were Stymied by tree as
they took stance for seconds toward
the green. Simpson tried the bold
way and hit the rough. Pettigrew
tried the same and found he was
in dangerous trouble. His ball was
down in a ditch behind an over
hanging bank and drainage pipe.
Had he tried to play it out to the
green the results undoubtedly would
have been disastrous. After care
full study he played out back toward
the tee and to the fairway. Simp-
son hit to the green IL feet from
the pin. Bud knew the title was at
stake. He took aim and fired and
the ball stopped two feet from the
cup.
The veteran still had a chance to
win the hole and square the match.
He took aim. He fired and the
crowd gasped. The ball hit the
cup, ran around the edge and rolled
of. Pettigrew needed only to sink
the two-footer and take the title.
He did. 1t is recalled that the last
extra hole match of the tournament
in 1921 went to Simpson when he
came from dormie four at the
thirty-second green to even the
match on the thirty sixth green
and then defeat Dan Sanders OF
South Bend on the fortieth green.
1t was a great rally to fall short
by such a narrow margin, but it
was a great bit Of Judgment and
a great shot by the new champion
that gave him victory and proved
his golf game is of true champion
ship caliber.
