Schneider of Charlotte moved to-
day into the 36-hole finals Of the
annual Myers Park invitational or

Black stole the show with 49,
hole conquest of Lexington's Henry
Styers, the defending champion. In
comparison, Schneider had an easy
time, defeating Charles Mckinney
of Charlotte, S and 3.
Coming up to the 18, after Styers
had cut down two-hole deficit and
taken a one-up lead, Black faced
almost certain defeat. Styers laid
his tee shot five feet from the
pin, and anything better than
halved hole was out of sight. Black
then unwound a shot to the apron,
Clipped up some 20 feet and rolled
into the cup the ball that evened
the match and sent it into extra
holes. Styers missed his putt, push
ing the ball, and went to the next
one to lose. Henry went down by
coming in short with a chip and
Black took the hole in par to end
the match.
Schneider opened with brides on
his mind and Mckinney, who went
farther than tourney observers had
thought he would, wasn't able tc
do anything with him. Mckinney
was three down at the turn. On
