the first 10, and the rain still was
pouring down as the rivals strobe
to the clubhouse for luncheon.
Both three-putted the first green
on the first hole and halved the
hole in IS. Both contenders were
250-yards down the middle from
the second tee. They were close to
the hole with three strokes each.
Coria missed a one-foot putt, the
ball hanging on the lip Of the cup,
and, angered, he knocked both balls
away from the hole. Strafaci
waived his technical right to claim
the hole, and it was considered
halved in IS.
Coria sailed from one trap into
another while trying to get on the
third green and, after digging into
the sand on the backSt 0ke on an
attempt to blast out re picked up
and was disqualific on the hole.
The st. Paul CO lender was in the
rough from the fourth tee and in
the trap in front of the green on
his second. Strafaci drove down the
middle, but was too strong with his
second, a brassie, and rolled past the
green to the side of a tree. Coria
came out of the trap three feet from
the cup. Strafaci was baffled by
his position near the tree. He tried
left-handed putter, he tried a
straddle stance, and finally used a
niblick chop stroke to get six feet
from the tree. He Clipped up from
there and gained par 5, but Coria
came through with a to win and
square the match.
Coria's tee shot on the short fifth
barely missed a spectator and
bounded down the hill to the edge.
Strafaci was strong and over the
green into the edge of the water. He
peeled off his shoes and socks,
waded in and hit the ball out 10
feet. He Clipped to the green, but
when Coria's approach chip stopped
a couple of inches from the cup, the
youngster picked up and conceded
the hole.
Strafaci's second shot on No. 6
struck a tree and caromed into the
trap on the other side. He picked
I'D his ball, and was disqualified on
the hole. 1t later was disclosed he
hit the sand on the back-sWing Of
his second attempt to blast out Of
the trap.
Coria got another bad break on
the No. 7 hole when his tee shot
headed for the woods, but the ball
collided with a tree and bounded
down the bank on to the fairway.
Both were short of the green with
their seconds and Strafaci took
three puts for a 6. Cora got par
and was l up.
Strafaci outdrove his older rival
20 yards on the eighth tee. But
after Cora sent his second to the
green. the Brooklyn boy pounded
one too hard and it went over the
green out of bounds. His third was
on, but he took two puts for a five
while Cora went 2 up with 4,
Strafaci made a brilliant recovery
from trap on the ninth. Cora
three-putted from 25 feet for a five
and lost the hole.
Coria took a 4 on No 10. Stra-
faci, evidently tightening up, drove
into the rough and sent his second
shot into a ditch far off the green.
The fastener took four to get on
the green and finally picked up his
hall conceding the hole to CORA
Strafaci annexed the eleventh
hole with a Well-played birdie, then
was forced to share honorS on the
twelfth when Cora came up With
one of the most spectacular shots
of the tournament. Cora smoth-
cred his tee shot into the rough far
to the left, and a grove of cedars
separated his ball and the cup. he
took up his niblack and sent the ball
high over the trees and on the green
within 18 inches of the hole.
The thirteenth was halved IN As,
each taking two puts. On No. "A,
Cora pounded out a While Stra-
faci had to be content with a D,
and the Brooklyner was 3 down as
they headed for the fifteenth tee.
Both missed the green on the TO-
yard fifteenth. Cora went past the
pin with his approach and missed
his putt back for a par, taking a 4.
Strafaci steadied down to get a par
3 and the hole.
Cora tapped his first drive on
the sixteenth into the rough close
to the swamp on No. Is. His second
shot popped into the second water
hazard. Strafaci drove a beautiful
shot of the tee and did not need
a second shot as Cora picked up
| and conceded.
On II, Cora was on in two at the
short edge. Strafaci was in the
ceders on his second. The Brooklyn
star Clipped out with one OF
