BrowneII SporkIes in 50 Round
In Mid-AtIuntic Golf Return
By MerreII WhittIesey

ster who said goodby to tournament
golf after winning the Maryland
open in the summer of 194l, said
hello again yesterday, brief but
emphatic hello in the form of a
l-under-par So at the Rolling Road
course in Catonsville, Md.
The 27-year- old Manor Club shot
maker was the talk of record field
of ia players in the Middle Atlantic
PGA pro-amateur tournament, de-
spite front nine of 80, including
a two on par-five hole by Burn
ing Tree pro Lewis SWorsham. Lew
had his troubles on the back nine
and went 4 over par for a 80 and
SO, one shot better than home pro.

Gets 47s-Yard Double Eagle.
Worsham made his double eagle
on the 478-yard seventh hole. dog
leg par 5. He cut the corner off
the tee and arched an eight-iron
shot over a huge tree onto the
green and the ball rolled 20 feet
into the cup. That was the big shot
in Worsham and Paul Chrisman's
best ball of 64 which won the pro-
amateur. Chrisman of Indian Spring
came through with par on the
18th where Worsham took to-
help nose out Spencer and Charley
Bassler of the host club by a stroke.
Worsham and Dick Milbourne of
Prince Georges posted a third
place 66.
Brownell, whose golf has been
limited to occasional weekend play
in five years in the FBI, took up
right where he left off the day he
won the Maryland Open with last
round 81 at Elkridge. The rangy
Duke grad, playing almost impossi-
BILE summer rules, hit IS of the 18
greens in regulation figures, had III
pars and one birdie His birdie
puts just wouldn't drop and his
only subpar excursion was a deuce
on the 10th, where his eight-iron
shot was just inches short of hole
in one.
Brownelrs Golf on Edge.
Brownell easily won the amateur
sweepstakes with a 69-3-66. He
showed little effect of his long lay
of and was hitting the ball in the
manner that led him to the State
open, Middle Atlantic amateur and
Southern intercollegiate titles five
years ago. The golf pros, who have
a great respect for Brownell's game
were saying yesterday that given
time for competition, blond Bobby
would make them forget George
Voigt as D. C.'s all-time amateur
The Middle Atlantic PGA events
ord numbers and yesterdays entry
fees reached SAT-, but If they are
not careful the pros are going to kill
the goose. There was discomfort
over the caddie situation, the club
house, locker room, etc, were not
opened until late afternoon and the
starting tee and scoreboard were
undermanned for the early players
