149, started with a par S, then
took a buzzard 5 on the second
and a par 4 at the third.
Big Mortie was S over par
going out, taking AZ, but he settled
down on the back nine to finish
with 38, three over par. He
found par easiest on the short
and medium-lengthened third,
sixth, eighth, thirteenth, and six
tenth holes.
Sam Parks added to his par 81
at the turn with five straight
holes in par, finally going over at
the fifteenth, where he took a S.
Meantime, Alvin Kruger, Of
Beloit, Wis, started with two parS
and buzzard S. His par at the
first was eked out after missing
the green with his approach shot.
Sarazen started for the seventh
two strokes over par, his record
for the first six holes showing only
two pars.
However, he got a birdie at
the 536-yard fourth. but lost a
stroke to par at the fifth and
again at the short sixth.
Takes Birdie 4
At the fourth he hit two beau
tiful wood shots to get home only
10 feet from the hole. Putting for
an eagle, he missed the cup by a
matter of inches but finally took
a birdie 4.
Gene had a bad lie in the
rough with his tee shot at the
fifth and his recovery left him
short of the green, the result be-
ing a 5. He hit the green with
his tee shot at the short sixth but
the ball kicked off the green into
a trap for a 4.
Thomson lost a stroke to par
by taking a at the tenth, fol-
lowed by two parS at the eleventh
and twelfth. Yates also took a 5
at the tenth, a par at the eleV-
enth, and a prodigious Z on the
621-yard twelfth.
The lowest single nine perfor.
nance of the tournament was
turned in by Henry Picard, of
Hershey, Pa, who shot a 80 for
the first nine, 4 under par.
His Five Brides
He had five brides on the out
nine, these being scored at the
first, second, fourth, seventh and
ninth holes. Only on the third
where he took a five, did Picard
fail to equal par or better it. He
started behind tWo-day total of
1877, eleven strokes behind the
pace.
Sam Parks, of Pittsburgh, fl
nally finished with a 37-36-73
for a 54-hole total of 223, thereby
taking nominal lead over the
field.
Another excellent nine-hole per-
formnace was turned in by Gene
Kunes, of Jeffersonville, Pa. who
hit the turn in IS, two under par.
Parks, however. really had a
chance to figure in the champion
ship, thanks to his overnight total
of $50. Parks lost a stroke to par
at the second hole, and strangely
didn't have single birdie during
the round. He did shoot an eagle
at the ninth, however.
Great Second Shot
Sarazen'S birdie at the fourth
came as the result of a great sec
ond shot, the latter travelling 275
yards to reach the green. He got
another birdie at the ninth, this
time through a miracle. Here his
second was so badly hit that it
carried all the way over into the
roadway. hit moVietone truck
and bounded back on the green.
From that point it was simple for
Sarazen to get down in two puts
for birdie.
Sarazen shot par on the first
and third holes, going one over
par with a S, however, on the Sec
ond. His fine drive on the long
fourth for birdie was followed
by a par on the fifth where he
became involved not only in the
rough but in a trap to the right
of the green as we'll. His explosion
carried the ball 10 feet to the
green where he two-putted for
his S.
Again on the sixth he found
himself in a trap, his tee shot
stunning the fairway. Gene
blasted nicely out Of the sand,
however, to reach the green on his
second shot. He tWo-putted again
for 4, one over par.
His performance on the seventh
was undistinguished, netting a 8
for the par 4 hole, while on the
short eight he came back to card
a par 3.
Ray Mangrum, of Los Angeles,
shot a par u this morning. He
took only 26 puts, II on the first
9 and IS on the second.
