Leaders Tied at Tucson
As Par Busting Continues

Panama City Beach. Fla, shares
the lead with Stan Leonard from
Canada today as the $4,000
Tucson Open golf tourney goes
into the third round and the
pros stage their greatest mass
assault on par of the winter
circuit.
The youthful, 13l-pound Dick
enson and the experienced Leon

have 36-hole scores of l3l, nine
under par for the 6.434-yard

Two other members of the
youth movement, Don January
of Abilene, Tex. and Dow Fin
sterwald Of Bedford Heights
Ohio, and the ever-dangerouS
Tommy Bolt from Chattanooga,
Tenn, are only a stroke behind
with totals of 1872.
Bolt complains of weakness
caused by a persistent case OF
flu but 1t doesn't show in the
way he handles his clubs. And
so far he hasn't shown a trace
of his notorious temper.
Par golf wins some tourna-
ments. Here it won't earn a
dime. Sixty-three have equaled
or bettered par for the first SO
