By the Assoeieted Press

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 26.-South
Africas Bobby Locke ran into as
stiff a golfing test as any he has
faced in winning the Phoenix Open
yesterday, but his brilliant recov-
cries and cool headed playing earned
him, one-stroke victory over smil-
ing Jim Demaret.
The visitor from johannesburg
went around the 6,578-yard Phoenix
Country Club course in 67-67 In the
final SO holes of the 72-hole test
for the $4,000 first prize money.
Locks 72-hole total of 268 clipped
two strokes off the previous mark
for the $4,000 tournament held by
last years winner, Ben Hogan OF
Hershey, Pa, who finished well back
of the leaders this year. Demaret
last years leading money winner
on the PGA tour, made 81, 400 while
the 81 900 third place prize was taken
by Lloyd Mangrum, who stuck close
to the other two stars throughout.
Demaret Finishes In II.
Demaret, took a three-stroke lead
over the other two at the end OF
the second round and maintained
the torrid pace with third round
total of 202. But the pressure got
him on the last 18 and he reported
with par II.
Locke, on the other hand, plugged
methodically away at his self-as-
signed task of taking the course
apart.
National Open Champion Lew
Worsham, who bounced back into
contention Saturday with 65 after
an opening rs, played steady golf
Yesterday with 70-71 to finish in the
money with 282, two under par

testants missed the money by two
strokes. Otto Greiner of Baltimore

Ter Harper of Portsmouth, Va, had
75-6S-2S5. Roger Peacock of the
