CHARLOTTESVILLE, June 10.
The folks here at Pennington
Country Club are hoping this
51st Middle Atlantic Amateur
golf championship follows the
form sheet. which would put
Bobby Brownell, the defending
and three-time champion from
Chevy Chase, and Buddy Loving,
the medalist from the host club,
in the title match Sunday. Brow
nell was Loving's playing partner
in the qualifying round yesterday
and looked at a great round of
golf. three-under par 81 by the
son of the clubs managing direc-
tor, r. F. Loving. sr. Brownell,
an automatic qualif1er, coasted to
II.
Loving would have beaten
Brownell, and 3, yesterday and
the Pennington people think Low
ing could do it if they met head
to head. But with something
more than the medal at stake, it
might be different story.
Rated Finest Round.
This 6.678-yard par 70 layout
was long and wet and under
summer rules Loving's round
was termed the finest ever played
over this course.
It was so tough that scores of
IS made the championship fight
and three Washington golfers
who figured to qualify for the
title flight missed. They were
Ray Swearingen of Columbia,
also a member here, who started
6-7 with a buried ball in a trap
and shot So; Roger MARITIME of
Argyle, Sc. and Dick Foster of
Columbia, 88.
Thirteen from the District
made the championship flight Of
80 and Brownell met Billy Hell
mer of Manor in the first round.
The third low score was made
by Bob Morris, member of Prince
Georges but now working for the
Government in Richmond. Nor
riS shot 72 despite an eight.
Eddie Johnston q Threat.
Brownell is in the upper
bracket with Billy Buppert. the
University of Maryland golf team
captain; Ken Scales, one of Bal
timore's three top amateurs:
Morris, Budd Brylawski of Wood
mont and Benno Jansen Of the
host club, among others.
The lower bracket finds Loving
meeting last years runnerup,
Eddie Johnston of Baltimore, in
the first round and Johnston is
capable of spelling that poten-
tial Brownell-Loving match.
Buddy's round included a dou-
BILE bogey five on the 237-yard
par three 10th, and a slip on
the fifth. He had six brides on
puts of from four to IS feet,
most of them short.
