winner (1934-1936), besides Nelson
and Demaret, barely squeezed into
the money, sharing 500. Snead
had a 75 for. the second day in
a row, as did Smith.
Stranahan's 72-hole total was the
lowest ever posted by an amateur
here. Dick Chapman of Pinehurst,
N. c., was second amateur with
2s9.
Demaret was playing better to-
day, he said after the round, than
at any time during the four days
he had only three one-putt greens,
needing two strokes on each of
the others. His drives were
straight in most cases and his
irons deadly to the green.
