= OUTHPORT, England, July l.
England's professional golfers,
though fine fellows personally
~ and uniformly kind to their
mothers, simply can't take it very well
under pressure.
That's the painful and reluctant
conclusion drawn after watching them
with a couple of notable exceptions

the concluding stages of the Ryder
Cup matches yesterday.
The margin of eight points to four
by which the Americans won their
first cup match on British soil doesn't

Britishers individually and COL
lectively showed they had every shot
IN the Americans bags. But late yes
.terday, when the going got really tough
and for a time looked as though any
one Of half dozen matches might be
decided, they folded their tents.
The Americans, their spines stiffened
by hostile gallery which roundly ap-
plauded missed American puts. played
their greatest golf in the crucial stages.
Ed Dudley, whose finishing qualities
had been questioned at home. brought
out some of the most brilliant golf of
his career in the final decisive nine
holes. His opponent Alfred Perry. like
every other member of the British team
except Henry Cotton, David Rees and
Sam King, couldn't stand the pressure
