Slips After Fast Start
Charley was red hot" with his
putter this morning At the end
of II holes he was in a sweet spot
to snatch the honor of being the
first to catch up with Old Man Par
70. But water and woods Difficult
ties boosted his scores and he was
four over when he walked off the
eighteenth green.
The Frisco veteran matched
strides with par until he reached
the short fifth hole, where he picked
out birdie by rolling in a nice 10
foot putt. He shot into the trees on
the sixth to give back the stroke and
added another extra" when he
topped his shot off the tee on the
seventh
Charley pared the eighth, but
pulled his tee attempt on the ninth
and was two over standard figures
at the turn.
Sends One Into Water
Another sparkling 1o-foot putt on
the tenth green gained back a
stroke and a brilliant birdie which
featured a 2O-foot putt on the
twelfth put Charley right back even
with par. 1t was his third birdie Of
the trip.
Ferrerra's prosperity didn't last,
however, as he sent one into the
water to take a 5 on the thirteenth.
He was in the rough on the six
tenth and decided to attempt a
shot directly out and over the water
instead of playing safe and going
around. The ball went bathing and
Charley had to list on his card
He was in the trees off the
seventeenth tee but marvellous re-
cove1y and chip shots brought him
out with par. He lost final
chance to nip stroke of his total
when he three putted the eighteenth
green.
