Beof Vic Ghezxi

His last tournament start was
in this event two summers ago
when ne won two matches before
being edged out by jug McSpaden
Hagen's second round victim then
was Vic GheZZi, the defending
champion this week.
1t is not generally known. but
the Haig almost blotted out that
stored playoff in the 1913 ma.
+tional open at Brookline, Mass. in
which young Francis Ouimet
startled the golf world by up
setting those two doughty war
riors from abroad-Harry Vardon
and Ted Ray.
Walter remembers that last
round stroke by stroke, including
7 on one hole when his ball
stopped in a pine tree. He thought
he was out of it when he turned
with 40, but a spectator told him
That's good; the other three
(Ouimet, Vardon and Ray) had
42'S."
He had caught them, but he
took another 40 coming in while
the others had 37S.
Hagen. a skinny fellow of &c
from Rochester. n. Y. playing in
his first big event. finished in a
tie only three strokes back of the
other trio. He trailed them only
two strokes starting the final
round, but finished with an 80
while they were taking 79s.
