18th to give him and Buster
Reed, the Lakewood pro, So.
Bogart and Reed then won a
sudden-death playoff with pars
on the first hole.
Nobody was disturbed by the
rain because it freshened the
course and made it easier. In
fact, there was wagering in the
grill room at Manor last night
that Bobby Brownell's record
score of 1856 for the Maryland
Open will be broken or tied in
the 36-hole championship to-
day. Brownell shot 69-67 at
Elkridge in Baltimore in 194l.
BrOwneH Is Excused
Brownell, incidentally, asked
to be excused from the tourna-
ment. He and Bogart played
seven rounds in four days in
winning the Anderson Memorial
in New York, and Bobby is ex-
hauSted. AS a result the anna
teur threat has been consider
ably lessened as Deane Beman
scratched over the week end.
Melvin Rowe, the Burning
Tree assistant pro, was among
those who gained respect yes
terday. Although individual
scores did not count in the best
ball competition, Rowe was i'm
pressive with a three-under-par
81. He and Chick Cullinane
were third in the pro-am with
a GA.
The first hole was kind to
Bogart and Reed. Both started
by driving out Of bounds on the
375-yard par four. However.
Reed salvaged a par on the
hole. They won the playof with
a four on the same hole as
Cornwell hooked into the woods
and Kelley took three from
the edge.
Bogart and Reed had seven
brides and II pars for their 63,
with Bogart making five of the
brides. Kelley and Cornwell
had eight brides and q bogey
on the 10th. with Kelley max
ing five of the brides. Lloyd
birdied 15-16-17.
Holes S-FOOt Putt
Cornwell, who looks more
like a river-boat gambler than
Lloyd Mangrum ever did, calm
ly holed an 8-foot birdie putt
on the 18th to give his team
the 63 before Bogart and Reed
had finished.
Billy Wolfe Of Sligo and Lob
rem had SIS for fourth. The 66s
were by the former champions
from Argyle, Billy Gilbert and
Bob Martino; Clare Emery and
Tex Connor of Washington, and
Paul MoSca and Chuck Pes
Sagno of Clifton Park.
Charley Bassler was out of
the money yesterday. However
there's something about the
State Open that brings out
Charley's best game, and the
six-time champion still is the
most feared player in the field
today.
Walter Romans, the defend
ing champion. played for the
first time in a week yesterday
which makes him a risky pick
