his best showing in this cham
|pionship.
In 1947. the year he brought
the National Open Title to
Washington. Lew went to the
|quarterfinals in this city at Plum
Hollow. In both 1913 and 1919,
Palmer beat him in the match
play rounds, the third round. st
Richmond, the second ct Co
lumbus, Ohio.
But Palmer made only one bid
today, as Lew never was down.
Worsham was 4 up at one time
lin the morning. but Palmer cut
|it to 2 ct lunchtime. Workman
had his lone bogey on the first
hole Of the afternoon and
Palmer won the hole with a par
6 to 60 one down.
"At that time I didn't like
the way the match was going, :"
Lew said later. with one Of his
|big grins. But he quickly did
something about It.
Ford's Putting Amazing
Worsham holed q downhill,
|sidehill 20-footer on the slip
perry second green and was OF
lon his birdie spree. He had four
more before the match ended.
Ford. the medalist, was put
ting with such confidence in his
trout Of Ulrich, that he walked
TO abe hole to pick the ball out
los soon as he stroked it. He
came within one hole Of tying q
IPGA record for the most one
sided victory.
There are seven name pros
and one youngster making his
first tournament bid remaining.
The latter is Fairfield. 25-year
old pro from Casey. H.. who ad-
vanced with a 2-and-1 victory
over Brien Charter. who is as
little known as Fairfield. The
latter was one under par for the
day.
Fairfield's opponent tomorrow
will be Mayfield. VINO won. / UP,
over Claude Harmon. the man
lwho gave him his first pro job.
Harmon missed q 2-footer on
1.-THE 36th to lose. one Of the very
few bogeys made on the easy
finishing hole in the entire tour
|nament.
Middlecoff Impressive
Middlecoff, somewhat over
looked since play began because
|of the sub-par golf by others
and because Of some Of the more
exciting pairings. still is very
much alive.
The Masters champ and top
money winner had a few uneasy
moments against Mike Pavella
|of Washington, Pa. but Pavella,
who had an early 2 up lead,
ran into four consecutive bogeys
on the back nine In the morn
ing and you can't do that
against Middlecoff. Doc was S
under par as he won. 8 and 6.
Hawkins took advantage of
some atrocious putting by Ed
Furgol to win, 6 and 5. with
three under par golf.
The only puts Furgol made
were the ones Hawkins gave
him. and they were little ones.
Worsham Playing Well
Worsham, who has played
only in the Masters. National
Open and this tournament in
1885. is hitting the ball about
as well as ever. Occasionally on
q long shot, his bursitis bothers
him. but he's much better than
when he arrived here after q
lfive-week layod.,
The feature hole of Lewis
morning round was the eighth.
It's q 230-yard par 3 and he hit
a tree with his tee shot and
the bali bounded into the paral-
lei second fairway. He still had
a full 9-iron to the green and
he was a foot short in two. He
rolled that shot into the cup
for a par 3 and won the hole.
Worsham's brides in the after.
noon were from puts of 20. IL,
10, IA and 10 feet. He was so used
to being up that even after
Palmer won the sixth hole with
q birdie, Worsham stepped up
and hit first on the seventh.
Palmer reminded him of it after
| Lew drove. but inasmuch as
IWorsham was in the rough,
Palmer didn't ask him to drive
over. Worsham and Palmer rode
out together, ate together and
lplAyed against each other.
They're buddies Of long standing
on the tour.
