Did you know that both Chuck
Kocsis and Sam Byrd. who battled
il out TO the finish in Michigan
open at Grand Rapids. almost
were forced TO pass up the final
round when IL was POSTPONED to
Monday because of Sundays rain
storm? It's a fact.
Chuck had an important busi-
ness engagement In Detroit for
Monday while Sam had a date
with the doctors at Ford Hos
pital.
Both got on the phone and
IL wasn't until several hours
later that arrangements were
made so they could remain the
extra day.
Kocsis, now a sales executive
with considerable responsibilities
resting on his shoulders, believes
he is better golfer than he was
Ia years go when he won the
same event.
He thinks he is steadier than
he used TO be. especially on the
putting greens. He Is proud OF the
fact that he didn't miss single
short putt this time and three
putted only once.
