BY ROBERT SONINIERS

Brookline, Mass.
He got the driver from his
brother, who happens to sell
them, the putter off the rack
in his Argyle pro shop and the
enthusiasm from leading the
Washington area qualifier with
a 2-under-par 142 at Prince
Georges yesterday.
Clark was one Of II who
made the grade, and three Of
them-Perky Cullinane Of
Brooke Manor, Bob Chandler
Of Congressional and Rod N.Y.
ers Of the University Of Mary
land-are amateurs.
Scores Of 149 or better made
the grade for the sectional
trials June 10 at Congressional.
Cullinane 2 Back
OF the IL who made It, four
Jack Peck Of Norbeck, Chick
Evans Of Phoenix, Ariz., Myers
and Charley Knowles Of Army
Navy-never attempted to quail
ify in this section before and
Larry Wise of Congressional
never tried anywhere before.
Clark finished q stroke ahead
Of Peck, q 34-year-old West
Virginian in his first season as
assistant to Henry Gerard, and
2 ahead Of Cullinane. Peck shot
143 and Cullinane IA. Par at
the 6,901-yard Prince Georges
course Is S6-36-72.
Clark's rounds Of 72-70
helped him forget, for a while,
the disappointing spring he's
gone through In Middle At
lantic PGA tournaments. His
best rounds were II at Turf
Valley Friday, which tied for
fourth place, and q 72 at Bel
air, good for 10th place.
II don't know what made
the difference today" Jimmy
said as he watched the scores
coming, unless 1t was my
driver. I've noticed that the
shaft on my driver seems to 60
from stiff to whippy about
halfway through the season.
"I've got to have two drivers
a season. I Just took this one
out Of the box today"
Misses One Fairway
How well it worked can be
attested by the accuracy Clark
showed off the tee. In 36 holes
ne missed Just one fairway,
and that was on the third hole
Of the morning round.
Jimmy didn't get off to a
promising start. After driving
10 yards short on the very
short par-four first, Clark
skulled his wedge over the
green and took S. He got that
stroke back with a birdie at
the second.
After the third Clark didn't
take another bogey until the
eighth hole Of the second
round. He hit 80 greens, had
nine 1-putt greens and no
3-putts, birdied six holes and
bodgied four.
The putter he used Is a
standard bullseye style he has
used only once before. He was
so uncertain about keeping It
he didn't bother to remove the
the price tag. Chances are he
will today.
This was the first time in 10
years that Jimmy even entered
the Open. He was a student at
George Washington the last
time.
Peck Blows Chance
He feels the urge now almost
as much as he did on the final
hole yesterday when he felt
he had a chance for the medal.
Clark unloaded q drive that
left him half a wedge shot
short Of the green on this AIS
yard par 4.
Peck had q chance to catch
Clark, but bogied the 18th hole
the second time around. He
had to play a great back nine
to come close. After shooting
II in the first round he went
out in 39 and looked as II he
could have trouble qualifying
at all.
Coming In he had four
brides and a bogey. shooting
33. He finished birdie- birdie
for his even par 70.
Evans, the first-round leader
at 70. found the second round
much tougher.
Ralph Bogart Of Chevy
Chase, the medalist In the
area Qualifier last year, and
Charley BaSsler Of Indian
Spring. last years Middle At
lantic PGA player Of the
year." were the principal cas-
ualties. Bogart shot ISL and
Bassler picked up on the eighth
hole Of the second round. He
was 8 over par to that point,
with rs in the morning.
