GOLF

Miss Mcintyre was 3 down
with only 6 to 60, and Miss
Quasi had been playing that
back 9 as If she owned it.
4 Extra Holes Needed
Miss Goodwin had to go
four extra holes before a g.
foot birdie putt eliminated
Judy Eller. the 19-year-old
Southern and intercollegiate
champion from Old Hickory.
Tenn.
Mrs. Porter, the former Doro-
thy German. won the only
match that ended before the
18th hole. defeating Judy Bell.
22-year-old Wichita University
senior, 4 and 8. with one-under-
par golf.
Mrs. Klinefelter, who seems
to play $3.50 golf until the pres
sure is the greatest. went to
the 18th hole for the fourth
time in five matches to defeat
CALIFORNIA; Barbara Williams,
l up. The only earlier match in
which Mrs. Klinefelter didn't
go to the 18th. she won on the
18th against Judy Darling.
You can make a case for all
but Mrs. Klinefelter as to who
will succeed Miss Quasi as
champion. and Mrs. Klinefelter
has such tiger-like qualities
she's difficult to ignore.
2 Over Par So Far
Miss Goodwin, her sailor
-. straw hat perched on top of her
fluffy. curly hair. is playing the
best golf, two over par for "a
holes, She weighs only ITO, or
did before the tournament
started. and probably is several
pounds under that after four
straight days and five rounds !
in 95-degree heat.
Miss Mcintyre is six over par
for II holes. Mrs. Porter seven
over for II holes, and Mrs.
Klinefelter, 81, over for SO holes.
But there's an opportunist in
every tournament, and that
term fits Mrs. Klinefelter in
this one. She is the one who
beat Miss Gunderson. the 1857
champion and co-favorite.
Mrs. Klinefelter is the only
semifinalist who displays any
emotions in a match. When
Miss Goodwin took her cross
hand grip and stroked in a
preSsure-packed 8-foot putt for
a deuce to square the match
against Miss Filler on the 18th
hole yesterday, a spectator
yelled, Wont you please smile

Has Natural Game
Mrs. Porter is a pleasant,
35-year-old Housewife with
natural golf game. She hits a
few practice shots if she. gets
to the course ahead of time,
but a couple times this week
was late and didn't have time
Her husband had been with her
until yesterday. but she said
he went home because he
couldn't stand the shock.
They're the Philadelphia hus-
band-and-wife champions.
Miss Goodwin is the stylist.
except for her putting stroke
She said her golf-pro father
has been somewhat nettled
this year because she's been
spending most of her time prac-
ticing instead at playing. She
has studied her swing in film,
and although she hasn't had
any pictures taken this week.
she or her dad hardly could
find fault with it.
Miss Mcintyre made her
record against Miss Quasi 3
out of 4 with yesterdays extra
hole triumph. Anne appeared to
have the match, locked up on
the 18th when she was l UP.
but her four-iron shot to the
157-yard 18th was so bad she
said she wanted to crawl into
a hole. 1t took almost the maxi
mum five minutes to find the
ball although hundreds of
spectators saw her hit the shot.
Miss Mcintyre won the hole
with par 8 and sent the match
into extra holes.
Lost PlayOff in Open
Miss Mcintyre is the only
amateur who has threatened
to disturb the pros domination
OF the Women's National Open .
since the USGA took the cham
pionship over eight years ago.
Barbara tied Kathy Cornelius
for the title. in 1856 and lost
a playoff by seven strokes. Her
previous best performance in
this tournament was reaching
the quarterfinals at Charlotte.
Mrs. Klinefelter probably is
the only Semifinalist in women's
amateur history who reached
the semif1nals by winning a
hole with a double DOGGY.
She and Miss Williams were
even coming to the 18th, when
Miss Williams drove under a
Tree and took two strokes to
get out and finally holed out
in 7. Mrs. Klinefelter pulled
her second shot to the left and
wo nthe hole with a 6.
Then Mrs. Klinefelter holed a
6-footer for a par on the 18th
to win the match. 1T might
have been 6 feet, she said. but
it looked like 70 feet to me-"
