BroWneII Continues
Winning Streak With
Aid From Kreuzburq

Bobby Brownell has done
pretty well on his own this sea-
son, winning the Belle Haven
four-ball with Ralph Bogart for
the th.-d straight yea, tie ND
ole Atlantic championship for
the fourth time and the Wash
ington G&CC Invitation for the
second straight year.
So what does the eight-time
District Amateur golf champion
do in the Columbia Country Club
member-guest tournament but
get Dick Kreuzburg as a part
ner and Dick came through with
four Of his best rounds in a row,
and had seven handicap strokes
to boot.
After Brownell and Kreuzburg
finished birdie birdie on 16 and
II to beat Buddy Bowie and
Claude Wild of Washington, 2
and l. in the final late yesterday
afternoon, they counted up and
found that with strokes they
were 33 under par for the four
match-play rounds. They quail
fled with a four-under par 66
without handicap, and for the
five days were 81. under.
Kreuzburg Gets Winning Birdie.
Kreuzburg, runnerup for the
Columbia Club title last year,
used at least four of his seven
handicap strokes each round,
more in most of them, and
Clipped in with several brides,
including a 12-footer for the
winning birdie on the 18th. Just
for insurance, which is his busi-
ness, Brownell was there with a
q footer in case Kreuzburg
missed.
Brownell was about two over
par in the qualifying round and
at~least one under on his own
ball-and he played from scratch
in the four match rounds.
For the last three Sundays
Brownell has been a 36-hole
golfer, winning the Washington
Invitation, Columbia member
guest and Mid-Atlantic Amateur,
but for the next two he is look
ing forward to a vacation at
Ocean City.
Wild Four Under Par.
Wild played r-under-par
golf for the day yesterday and
hopes to retain his wonderful
putting touch for the Virginia
Amateur championship that will
be played over next week end at
Hot Springs. He's playing good
enough to win the State title.
Wild ended the morning match
against D. B. Tuxhorn and Gil
Willett with an eagle 2 on the
17th hole for a 3-and-1 triumph
for him and Bowie. Brownell
and Kreuzburg were Z under in
