wildered competitors tar behiAa,
big Ralph Guldahl today donned
the crown Of Western Open golf
champion here for the third
straight time.
It was the first time such Q
feat had been performed In the
Ss-year history Of the meet.
AS in the National Open, which
he won for the second straight
time last week, the big Madison,
N. j., pro put on 50 much heat
in the final 10 that he left his
opponents clear out Of sight.
Guldahl turned IN q blistering
Six-under-psr s5 on his last Mound
for q total card Of 279 strokes TO
retain the Western Open title.
His nearest competitor, Slamming
Sam Snead, was second with 2ek.
Tony Penna Of Dayton, Ohio,
was third at 3S9. Hard-hitting
Jimmy Thompson Of ShaVnee-
town, Pa, and Lennsrd Dobsen
Of Springfield, Ohio, we're tied IN
fourth place with 2e2s.
The meet vas Gu1dshl's master
piece. He was never headed from
start to finish. Twice he ives
threatened when rivals came
abreast. Both Of these however,
went down under the sledge-
hammer drives and trolley wire
approach shots Of the champion.
Although Guldshl did not re-
peat the feat he performed in the
National Open, when he bunehea
four consecutive three-Stroke
holes, he did continue his boyeott

AS il her thoughts had disastrously

and ran.
She was halfway back TO Roddy at
