Snead's other partner is
George Fazio. one of the easiest
fellows to play with on the tour.
Hogan'S is Dutch Harrison. Har-
rison is not the type who would
bring Hogan home" Dutch will
go his way and permit Hogan to
go his. This will be the Open
championship for Hogan but just
another round for Dutch. Har-
rison is the type who will not be
concerned whether Hogan is
shooting so or 90.
The USGA, of course, gives
name players preference. and
shows respect for the veterans.
For instance one threesome is
made up Of Johnny Farrell. Den

And the USGA shows no favor

names in golf to rise early on
opening day. They tee off at
9:04.
A similar pairing is Craig
Wood. Tony Manero and Law

The USGA shows respect for
Billy Joe Patton, the peoples
choice at the Masters. by pair
ing him with Lew Worsham and

ISOLATION, where the pairings are

Who plays with whom is of
tremendous Importance in a
championship as weighty as the
United States Open. And even
the initial -pairings are impor-
tant because they stand for the
first and second rounds. The
only change is for Saturday,
when the field Is paired prac-
tically by scores after SO holes.
The USGA wisely spots the
name players as far apart as
feasible for gallery purposes,
but unlike the PGA. it pays lit
tie attention to personalities. It
is not in q position where it
must recognize who's not speak

with another.

Pairings for tournaments such
as the current Virginia Beach
Open are made with an official
of the PGA present. Ray
O'Brien. the current Tournament

the circuit riders and he is well
aware of the dislikes. the quar-
rels and the strifes that are
rampant among athletes who
virtually live together 40-odd
weeks of the year, virtually at
each others Threats.
OF course. the PGA has seen
to it that after the second round
in q four-round tournament the
pairings are automatic, 1876.
2-4-6, and the others in success
sion, 1873. etc.
In the first two rounds O'Brien
must see to it that slow players
are not paired with fast ones,
that players who have been in
rules arguments are separated,
and that the annoying type are
not paired with the stars.
In the Open championship. the
outspoken pros have claimed
that Ben Hogan has received
preferred treatment from the
USGA in his winning years. It
was the same story when Bobby
Jones was on top. It always will
be the same when there's q dom
inant figure.
This week the USGA has made
sure the Sam Snead rooters
cannot claim preferential treat
ment for Hogan. They trade
starting times the first two days,
and as far as playing partners
are concerned, Hogan has none
the best of it.
Snead plays at 1882 the first
day and 2:08 the second. Hogan
plays at 1908 the first round
and 1882 the second.
