Reed Plays Brilliantly
Reed had a splendid round at
Highland yesterday, going out in 81
and back in the same number. He
got off to good start with birdie
on the first hole, dropping in a
four-foot putt. He missed another
birdie on the sixth hole when a
two-footer stopped on the lip of the
cup. His first over-par hole came
on the seventh, where he found the
ditch on his tee shot and then re-
covered to the green, but took three
puts from IL feet and finished with
a 6. He was over the green with
his second shot on No. 9, and missed
the green with his second on No. 10
for a pair of consecutive IS on par
four holes.
His Best Shot
At this point Reed rallied his
game and ran consecutive parS to
No. 16 where a wild tee shot got him
into trouble and he could not re-
cover to the green. His best shot
of the round came on the next hole
where he found the trap with his
second, but came out within 10 feet
and dropped the putt for par, and
on the last hole he putted for a
birdie out missed the edge of the
cup anu his par gave rim 81 in for
IA.
Walter Green of Hillcrest had a
pair of IS on his "a card of 81 out
and 81 in. He missed an approach
on No. 3 for the first one and slipped
over another stroke on No. 7, all the
others being pars. He took IS on
two par holes and found the rough
on No. u to take the other six on
the back nine, all the other holes
again being pars.
1t is interesting to note that all
three of the players who tied for
medal honors at Highland yesterday
with 74s went out in 81 and back in
81 to get the total.
Sinks Eight-FOOt Putt
Max Buell., the third player to get
that total, slipped over on the
SCNOtlQ AlO4C, Jul Idlllt OdCh WIFI dAl
eight-foot putt for birdie on No. 3
and lost the shot and another one
when he found the ditch on No. 7
to take a 6. He hooked his tee
shot on No. IL, missed the green
on No. IL, but came galloping
home in consecutive pars from
there. putting for brides on six of
[ the last seven holes, but unable to
| get one into the cup.
Phil Talbot might well have led
the field yesterday had he not taken
three puts on the seventh, eighth
and fourteenth green's, but ask any
other player and they could tell you
numerous spots where they might
have changed the picture. The
