Nelson Is Under Par
For S2,666 Award
In Wykagy| Golf
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, June 10
Par golf just isn't good enough
any more.
Three years ago, at Fort Worth
Tex, Craig Wood of Mamaroneck,
N Y, was three over par figures for
70 holes, but won the last National
Open golf championship.
In the Red Gross Open at Wy
kagyl, which closed yesterday, Wood
was one under par for 72 holes and
finished seventh at 287. Vic Ghezzi,
the Army sergeant from Deal, N. j.,
was nine under par at 279-and
could do no better than second.
Nelson Shoots 10 Birds, Eagle.
Byron Nelson, the tall Texan now
playing from Toledo, Ohio, tore the
rugged par-72 apart with successive
rounds of 69-69-66 and II to take
down the $2,666.65 first prize with a
275 total-13 strokes fewer than the
card said he should have taken.
And he was 13 under par, de-
spite eight holes on which he
slipped over for bogies. He made
up that deficit with 10 brides and
screaming eagle. The eagle came
on the 487-yard ninth hole, which
he reached with a wood and a No
2 iron, and then holed a 10-foot
putt.
Penalty Costs Sarazen $366.
The victory ran Nelson's winnings
for the year to $14,341, just behind
Harold Jug) McSpaden of Phil
adelphia. who has profited by SIS, 100
In War Bonds and Stamps. Between
them, Nelson and McSpaden have
won 7 of the IL tournaments
this season, Nelson being six strokes
ahead of his foe over that route.
Mike Turnesa of White Plains
N. Y, finished third in the Wykagyl
classic with 284, and Gene Sarazen
of Darien, Conn, twice winner of
the National Open. was fourth with
285. But for a two-stroke penalty
on the last hole of the third round
when his chip shot struck a flag
held by the caddy, he would have
been in third place and five under
par. That penalty cost Gene S366.65
in prize money.

mite contention.
Other competitors who have found
the rather fiat Park Ridge layout to
