by / down, with a 81 to Ewing's
par 36.
On the fourth hole he climbed
all the way to a surprising 6,
2 over par, his difficulty starting
when he sliced his second into
the rough, fell short with his ap-
'proach, then finally missed a
2-foot putt. Ewing missed chance
to increase his lead on the eighth
when he muffed a 3-foot putt,
halving the hole in even par 3,
instead of picking up a birdie.
Kocsis hit the turn / up on
Montgomerie and went on from
there to his convincing 4 and 3
victory, shooting IS on the out
nine to Montgomerie'S 81.
Ouimet came home with a 40
for an 18-hole II against Ewing'S
IS.
BY playing the par four 10th
in even figures. Ouimet managed
to even the match-one Of the
closest all the way to develop so
far-and through the last nine,
the lead repeatedly changed hands
with neither able to get more than
a one-up lead until Ewing finally
did it on the payoff hole.
INDIFFERENT PLAY
Indifferent iron play on the 10th
and 14th cost Ouimet those two
holes and a one-up edge he had
gained on the 18th. However,
Ewing three-putted the 18th and
the match was again squared and
the stage set TO- Ouimet to regain
the lead on the 10th. The match
was squared again on the 17th,
where both failed to reach the
green with their tee shots, Oulmet
taking a five two over par ana
Ewing a four. Ewing then ended
the match on the 18th, where he
holed a. seven-foot putt and Oul'
met missed a 10-footer. =,
Kocsis played some OF the oesE
golf of the tournament on his
way home when he bagged an
even par on each without a break,
and. ultimately, ended it all on the
fifteenth. Montgomerie mean
while was 2 over par with a b
on the tenth and l over par on
the twelfth and thirteenth.
Kocsis dropped a 12-foot putt
on the thirteenth and slapped an
iron shot dead to the pin on the
thirteenth as he began really to
Whittle his rival down.
On the out nine, Haas got a
birdie three on the third with a
nine-foot putt and a birdie two
on the fifth with 15-foot putt.
His worst hole was the sixth,
where he over-ran the green, got
into trouble and wound up with
a six, one over par.
Haas actually won the match
with his putter, requiring only
one putt on seven greens, and
sinking the long ones and short
ones alike to maintain a clear edge
throughout the match from the
start to the finish on the thlr-
teenth.
Haas string Of four straight
fours on the back nine was even
par and left him one up on regu-
lation figures for the match-as
far as it went.
Playing under overcast skies
which threatened rain momentar-
lily, but with the gales of the last
few days diminished to mere
zephyrs, Yates took advantage
of the improved conditions to
shoot a "a, two under par, for the
first nine, and hit the turn with a
three-up lead.
INCREASED EDGE
Yates played the first four holes
in even par fours, to go one up by
virtue of Pennink's five on the
second, and the Albanian increased
his edge on the short sixth, where
he holed an 18-foot putt for a
birdie two against the Briton'S
regulation three.
The Atlantan's margin was
pared to one up again on the
seventh, when he was laid in a
dead Stynie and knocked both
balls into the cup, losing with a
par four to Pennink's birdie three.
But at this juncture, Yates
quickly took command again and,
capitalizing on the Britisher's
wildness off the eighth and ninth
tees, won both holes, with a par
three and a birdie four against
Pennink's one over par four and
par five. Pennink finished the
nine with a 81.
CLINCHES MATCH
The Britisher's game virtually
went to pieces on the back nine
Both went down in par three on
the tenth, but Pennink then
picked up a six on the par four
eleventh, where he was out o1
bounds with his second.
Yates lost the next hole with
