Show Harry Hampton's Putts Were Very Badly Played Speaking, of missed short putts, as many golfers have been doing since the Bob Cruickshank incident in the Texas open, there Is the failure of Harry Hampton in the Canadian open at Toronto three years ago. Playing the ninth hole of the Lamb-ton Lamb-ton club, a hole of some 200 yards or more, Hampton was going well when he suddenly ran into trouble. His tee shot caught a trap. He finally made the green with his third shot and then took three putts. The third putt hung right on the lip of the cup. A single half turn and it would have been down. In disgust Hampton walked over to the ball, jabbed at it with his putter and completely missed the ball. |
