him to be every inch a champion, j.
H. Brodie retained his golf crown at
West End Country Club for another
year yesterday afternoon when he
staged a most amazing comeback to
defeat Turner Workman one-up on
the 37th hole, an extra hole of the
36-hole championship match, before a
large gallery that was almost breath
less at the finish.
In the first 1S-holes played Satur-
day afternoon, young Turner Wor-
than led the champion Sup and con-
tnued to lead on through the second
IS holes, and at the Seth hole tee was
Sup with three to go, needing only
to tie a hole to win the title.
AT this point, the champion really
showed the stuff of which he was
made. Both golfers got off good drives
and Brodie's second shot went into
the rough several yards from the sand
while the runncr-up was on the edge
of the fairway, closer to the green.
Brodie's approach shot went on the
sand at the rim, and he sank it from
there, giving him birdie on this hole.
Workman missed his putt by inches
pairing the hole.
With the championship Ringing
over every stroke and the pressure
tremendous Brodie got off a nice
drive on the 35th. Using a wood club,
his shot went to the green. the ball
resting on the edge of the sand, far
away from the cup. Wortham's shot
went just beyond the green, and q
short approach put him near the cup.
Brodie dropped his ball into the cup
for another birdie cutting Worthams
lead to 1-up and one to go. Workman
Clipped on 36th green and Brodie did
the same, both laying far away from
the cup. Worthams putt missed, but
Brodie sank his with amazing skill
to deadlock the match, putting it into
extra holes. On the 9th, Brodie's
drive went straight down the fair
way, while Wortham's tee shot went
into the rough. Brodie's approach was
just short of the sand and Workman
had trouble getting out of the rough,
finally coming onto the green. Brodie
continued his amazing play by sink
ing his next shot in the cup for an
other birdie and the match.
