people followed the tall, stoop-
shouldered gent around the Kenwood
course to watch him hit the shots
that since have brought him Nation
wide acclaim as the top linksman
Of the land. That same year Gull
dahl had missed a 4-foot putt at
Chicago to tie for the National Open
championship. The critics, or so
they wrote, had Guldahl behind the
eight-ball. Never" they said. has

in this country, and probably the
best.
