| birdie 3. He squared at the tWelfth
with a par when Andy's tee shot
found a trap. They halved the next
three, with Gibson holing curling
l5-footer on the fifteenth green to
tie Bobby's birdie 3. when Brownell
flung an approach shot up dead. But
Brownell put the crusher on the
Baltimore Scot at the sixteenth.
He won the tournament and the
championship with high-fying 7
iron shot that Snuggled up against
the pin on the sixteenth, leaving
him a putt of feet for his birdie g.
Gibson took 5. So Brownell went
into the last two holes with two
stroke lead. Gibson picked one OF
them back at the seventeenth with
a birdie, but Brownell protected his
lead carefully with a par at the
tough home hole, where Gibson
muffed a putt of less than foot for
par.
Gibson Tops Pros.
AS it was, Andy won first pro
money of S120, but that missed putt
cost him $3.50. The Maryland State
Golf Association had put up SIS for
the lowest round. Had Gibson made
the putt, he would have tied Brown
ellis ST. So Bobby wound up with
the top amateur award of S25 IN
merchandise, plus SIS more of the
same, which fell into his lap when
Gibson muffed the short putt.
