British Open Champ
Predicts Low SCORING
As Greenbrier Starts
By the Associated Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va. May 8.-The winner of
the 72-hole Greenbrier Open
starting today is going to have
to shoot really subpar golf, says
Max Faulkner, globe-trotting
British Open champion.
After comparing the 6,36S-yard
Old White course with those of
several countries he has played,
Faulkner feels the par 70 for 1a
holes should be easy to beat.
"The first nine is quite an easy
par "a and the back nine 36 is
not very difficult" declared the
IBritisher. There is no green you
can't get on in two strokes with
Iout too much trouble"
This is Faulkner's first visit to
the Greenbrier and he was en-
thusiaStic about it.
'"The green's are the closest to
any like those in England I've
ever played on" he said. They're
very fast and that's very good
for me"
Learns Course Quickly.
After a couple of practice
rounds, the former Ryder Cuppe1
reported I'm getting to know the
course very we'll"
Faulkner proved it. Yesterday
morning he shot II for Is holes
and in the afternoon he tested
only the back nine again and
had a sensational 81.
Faulkner flew over from Eng
land for the Greenbrier last Sun
day, right after winning a tour
nament. Before that he COM
pleted a 35,000-mile exhibition
tour to such places as Bombay
Ceylon and Hong Kong.
Besides the fast green's, Faulk-
ner also noted the Old White
course is not "as soft as the
usual American course. You get
a lot Of bounce on drives"
The speedy condition of the
playing ground isn't just a new
comer's opinion. Dave Douglas
of Newark, Del, a past partici-
pant, said, 1.-THE course is in Won
ierful shape and much harder
than usual"
That seemed to guarantee that
Ipar, which past Greenbrier win
ners belittle, is in for another
shellacking.
Gave Par a Lacing.
Cary Middlecoff won the first
t 72-hole Greenbrier in 1949 with
l265. Is below the standard. Ber
Hogan blasted 81 strokes off it ir
1850, and Sam Snead was II
Istrokes ahead of the game last
Iyear.
Snead is the only one of the
three past winners present, ano
hes in rare form. In practice
rounds, the last two days he hac

Iyader.
The two foreigners will have
some precedence in looking fol
victory. Henry Cotton of England
won the inaugural Greenbriel
tourney in 1948, when it was onl!
a 36-hole pro-amateur event.

real interest In the scfoolboy golf
matches? Now they appear to be
falling dead, marked by forfeitS,
cancellations, etc. Under the pres
ent setup there seem to be too
many divisions and too many one
sided matches. A re-arrangement
of the entire program might help.
Next stop on the major tourna-
ment circuit after the Greenbrier
is the Palm Beach Round Robin
next week at Wykagyl
Club. New Rochelle. This is the
tournament that confuses a num-
ber of occasional golfers, although
the method of scoring is fairly
simple.
The field of 16 plays five differ
ent rounds, each with different
players, so that everybody plays
everybody else. Cards are matched
at the end of 18 holes. If in one
group A has a 70, B a II, c a u
and D 70, A would get six points
on that round, or a plus 6 score.
B would be plus 2, c minus 2
and D minus 6. The player who
has the most points after five
rounds is the winner. Argentine
Roberto DiVicenzo was the win
ner last year with plus 40. Max
Faulkner, the British Open cham
pion, Sam Snead and Byron Mel
son are included in this years
field.
