After a great drive, I was faced with a brassie of some 250 yards to a very narrow opening to the green, which probably did not measure more than 15 yards. This distance was so great that I could not play a carry 'shot to the green. I had to play short to roll through the opening. 1 need ed a foufr to tie Byron Nelson at 284. After waiting 15 minutes for the crowd to clear, I played a straight brassie shot,' which went directly through the center of this narrow opening to the green and rolled 15 feet short of the cup. ' I missed the putt for an eagle 3, which -would have won the tournament outright, but' at least I had achieved one of my greatest thrills in hitting a fine shdt at a time like that when "'it really counted.
