move in amateur golf.
His five consecutive birdie
finish in yesterdays qualifying
round gave him back-nine 81
and five-under-par Ct to win
the North and South Amateur
tournament medal by four shots
over Bill Campbell, United
States Walker Cup team captain
from Huntington, w. Va.
Smith, 28-year-old, 6-foot-5,
24O-pound husky, came up with
new putting touch to go along
with his heralded long game to
romp off with the medal.
On the eve of the tournament
he had said he was ready to
make his move in golf. Speak
ing of Billy Joe Patton, more
celebrated Tar Heel who is not
defending his title this week due
to the pressure of business,
Smith said:
Billy Joe is five years older
than I. I hope to get as far as
he has by the time l reach his
age
Big Dave equaled the tourna-
ment qualifying record by fin
ishing 3-2-4-2-3, one under even
threes. He dropped puts OF so,
