Hogan's several weeks at Palm

Even though he's in second
place, only two strokes back,
Demaret was about as unhappy
when he finished as some of the
non-qualiflers. Jimmy was any,
thing but jaunty as he caus-
tically answered reporters ques-
tons. and angrily told of three
putting the 10th and 18th green's,
missing 2-foot puts on each.
All of the sunshine of a day
that started with heavy rain and
ended with balmy weather
beamed on Snead, whose So was
the lowest round of the tourna-
ment by two strokes.
Sammy was in one of his eye
rolling, twinkling moods, more
relaxed than he's been in years,
in his own words. In 36 holes
he said he has missed only one
shot, his second on the eighth
yesterday, and he still pared
the hole, almost birdied it.

was taking a double DOGGY 5
on the 18th at the same mo-

But Demaret finished DOGGY

Thus Sam made up six strokes
from their positions on the

Somebody asked Snead If he

The 18th is a treacherous par
8 hole where the tee is tree
guarded. and the players can't

Comes Back With Birdie
Snead proved he wasn't upset,
however. He smacked a drive
and 3-iron to the green on the
paris 18th and two-putted for a
birdie. He pared No. IA and on
the paris 18th. where Demaret
had played safely short of the

3-wood to the green and dropped
IA l5-footer for an eagle. The
roar from his huge gallery did
nothing for Demarets COM

Sam knocked a 3-footer in for
a birdie on the 10th, then pared
the last two holes.
