two over par on the last four
holes in sloppy fashion and then
went back to the hotel and to bed.
The 10th Masters title seems to
be between those five The first
round co-leader. Johnny Palmer,
went two over par on the last four
holes for a IS and is alone at 218.
The PIG bracket is made up of
Washington's Lew Worshsam, now
the Oakmont pro in Pittsburgh;
Jim Terrier, who tossed this title
away two years ago, and Johnny
Revolta. whose steady Ills of the
first two rounds were added to
70 today.
Worsham, who finished third
last year, could be right in there if
he hadn't bogied the 18th today
by taking three from the edge of
the green and then three putted
the 18th. At that Lew had a 70
with five brides. including three
puts of longer than 10 feet.
Terrier in Trouble.
Revolta hit the SkidS early and
was out of contention but Terrier
waited until the par three 18th
to lose his chance. Big Jim
plunked his tee shot into the
water on that difficult hole and
then waded into the icy stream,
1t was for naught. however, as
he didn't bulge the ball and then
he was forced to take penalty
stroke and three 6. He
had n. the same score as Revolta
George FaGlo the former Wood
mont pro and now an auto dealer
in Cambridge. Md, played with
Hogan and caught Ben after six
holes with par golf to Hogan's
three-over-par Shotmaking at that
point. In TACT. Fazio missed a
four-foot birdie putt at the sixth
which would have put him ahead
of Hogan.
But George started his boyle
parade by duck-hooking a tee shot
at the ninth and he was through
on the par three 18th where he
took six after he missed his tee
shot into the water and then
three-putted. After being even
with Hogan at one time. he fin
is1ed with Is and trails by seven
strokes.
Burke Shoots IS.
The leading money winner of
the year. Jack Burke, jr., who
moved in with 81 on the second
round, had even par for four holes
and hit booming tee shot on
the fifth. Bat he hooked his Sec
ond shot on top of a rock and
played three straight duffer- like
approach shots for a and a 70.
The only par-breaker other
than Besselink was Chuck Koc-
Sis. low amateur in the National
Open last year, who also had a
II, including a 100-foot shot into
the cup from trap on the 10th.
Middlecoff was the only par
shooter and only Worsham and
Australians Norman Won Media
had TBS. Hogan was Joined at IA
by Clayton Heather and Joe Kirk
wood. jr
Snead in Good HumOr.
Despite Snead's bloWup he ap-
peared in a relatively good humor
in the clubhouse. He said it was
one of those days when every
thing went wrong. If he missed
a green by more than a foot, he
went over par, but his biggest sir
was three-putting the sixth hole
from eight feet.
Sam pointed out that on thu
par five 18th. a dogleg in which
the second shot must carry {
creek. he hit a great No. 2 iror
but the ball took backspin on thu
green and drew back into tn
ditch He took a penalty stroke
for a 6, whereas a forward bounce
of the ball would have given hin
a reasonable putt for 3. Balti
