He is the only golfer I know who can putt raggedly and still keep close to the top. Snead led the field in earnings and scoring through 1949. He is on 'his way to do the same In 1950. Counting his share in the big money tournaments in California, Arizona and the recent Texas Open, Samuel Jackson had a winning total of $7,558 so far for 1950.
