The Middle Atlantic ANA
teur golf tournament is only
half over, but everybody seems
ready to concede the title to
Deane Beman, who took a six
stroke lead into the third
round today at Congressional.
Nobody is going to catch
Deane," Ed Tutwiler Of Char
lesion, w. Va, one of his clos
est pursuers. said after Beman
matched par 70 at the 1929
yard course yesterday, giving
him a 36-hole total Of 142.
The only way anybody could
catch him would be If he had a
bad round. And he's not going
to have one. He's too good a
wedge player and putter," Tut
wiler added.
Tutwiler is tied at 14s with
Ralph Bogart Of Chevy Chase,
the first-round leader, and DR..
Walter Knych of Fulton, NY.
Tutwiler shot II yesUe rday
after his opening n Thursday,
Bogart added a n to his OPEN
ing II, and Kynch, who was
paired with Beman yesterday,
has a pair Of 74s.
Bobby Brownell of Chevy
Chase, who shot an opening rs.
had to withdraw because of ILL
ness and Buddy Loving of
Charlottesville, who had rs IN
the first round, pulled out be-
cause of an injured back.
Beman has been the only
player to match par at Con-
gressional, the site Of the 1864
National Open. He went out
in 81 yesterday despite a pair
of brides on the fourth and
eighth, and came back in 80.
II hit some super iron shots
out there today" Beman said
enthusiastically as he warmed
up for the World Amateur
in Japan October 10
13. Beman is on the four-man
team which will represent the
United States Golf Association
in the Orient.
Il hit the pin on the seventh"
he said, adding that the ball
skipped is feet away and he
three-putted, "and I hit the
hole on the eighth" where he
sank a 15-foot birdie putt.
II had the ball flying at the
stick all day."
Deane had four bogies on the
front nine, missing a 12-foot
par putt on the third, taking
three from the edge Of the
sixth. a par five converted to a
par four for the Middle Atlantic,
three-putting the seventh and
overshooting the par-five ninth
and landing in a trap.
On the back nine he made an
8-footer at the 18th and q 20
footer at the 14th for brides.
