Mrs. Susman stormed to the

She set out to avenge a defeat

determination all the way.
But for a time today, the
outcome was in doubt. Mrs.

ELLICOTT CITY, Md, July
mickey Wright fired a q
under-par 68 today at Turf
Valley Country Club and
charged into the lead at the
two-thirds mark of the Kelly
Girl Invitational golf tourna-
ment.
sss Miss Wright, winner of three
tournaments already this sea-
son, will take a 2-stroke lead
over her three closest pursuers
into the final 18 holes tomor-
row. Her SO, coupled with an
opening rs Friday, totaled 144
for So holes over the par 35-
$40 course.
In second place with 146s are
Sandra Haynie, the half-pint
young pro from Fort Worth,
Tex: Kathy Whitworth, a fine
player from Jal, N. Mex, and
Marlene Hagge of Delray Beach,
Fla. the first-round leader who
slipped to IA today.
Mary Lena Faux of Thomas
vile, Ga, had a chance to take
second place all by herself, but,
going for a 81 from Is feet on
the last hole, slipped 4 feet
past the hole and she missed
the putt coming back.
At that she shot SO after an
opening-round 78 and now has
a lat total.
Mickey BOgied One
Miss Wright played superbly,
hitting Is greens on a course
that measures $500 yards from
the front of the mems tees.
She had only one bogey and
that was because of a three
putt green on the first hole.
She made the turn in 36-one
cover par.
Then Mickey, the longest hit
ter among the women pros,
played a brilliant back nine,
shooting 80 and cutting three
strokes from par.
Mrs. Hagge looked like she
would be hard to dislodge from
her front-running position the
way she played the front nine.
Not that she was playing well

MADRID, April Z (AP).-As
