Barry seemed to be playing an eminently sound game throughout. the day, but without any great degree of success. He was controlling his drives well in the morning, but at too many holes he} had to take three putts. Then piece of dire' misfortune befell him at the long hole—the 14th—where ho opened "with one of his long beautiful drives. The ball fortunately landed in a very wet patch of ground, and was practically buried. He had to take his niblick, to get it out, and from here he went into the rough, requiring seven for the hole, All' this led to fan 82 in the morning. Then in the} afternoon he started badly, being, out of bounds from the tee and then taking three putts on the green, the hole costing him seven, He made up for this later on, and returned a card of 77, Until the afternoon "Blinko did not seem to settle down to. his usual play, Tt was noted that at the narrow holes he sacrificed the length of his. drive on many ons to direction, and this, -y_ stood him in food stead. Too often, unfortunately, he allowed them to go wild on other occasions, and this cost bini valuable strokes.
He had a fine first half in. the afternoon, but his second was not:
good, as his judgment both in approaching and. putting was at fault at many holes.
Pilcher was decidedly off cotovr in the morning. He was driving] only indifferently, so much so that at a hole like the third he had to take his iron, this, however, after putting a couple of drives into the field on the left, Nor was his brassie any better than his driver, and at holes where he should have been on the green in two he required three to " get pin high. Happily he improved in the after-' noon, showing his usual careful style' of play, and thanks to a 74 hho was able to tie for second place.
Malcolm and Budd cit as unfortunate that Malet ie in the morning, for] P: he was playing with Budd, and' this should have been one of' the best exhibitions of the -day. Unfortunately Malcolm in the first half. never seemed to be out of difficulties, He topped half his shots from the tee and also through the green, and he had no luck in Putting to make up for these lost strokes. Then at the turn a re markable improvement set in, and he finished the morning round in 78. Unfortunately for him this iniprovement did not last, and he sacrificed his chances of second place with an $8 in the afternoon, On can hardly attempt adequately to describe Budd's play throughout the day. To start with at the narrow fairways he was taking his driving very easily, and only later on did he hit out in his usual style, His "approaches were "deadly, whether he used his characteristic lofted shot or a pitch and run, which on oreasion he adopted. Thanks to the accuracy of these and his chip shots he saved many putts on the green, holing out from his approach, As his round proceeded he became still more brilliant, and improved on a 73 in the morning to a 70 in the afternoon. This was all the more striking as generally the strain of playing 72 holes medal tells severely on amateurs when it comet to the last round, but in his case it was entirely different, Never was a championship win better deserved, For the first time since the chants pionship here was instituted, the score of the winner came under the 300 mark, and it was all due to excellence' of play. The previous best score was 305, This winner received an ovation when the presentation of the trophies was made by Mray Macdonald, wife of the President of the Club, In addition to pre" centing the trophies to Mr. Budd and Lieut. Justice and Mr. Pilcher second place, Mrs. Macdonald presented Captain Barry with a box of. balls as having the dest dividual score for one round apart from the championship winner, The Scores The following are the scores in the championship, those of the six leaders being given in order of merit, the remainder in the order in which they played on Saturday 2nd Sed ath INW, Budd 70 IF, Pilcher 77 Lieut, Justice 75 4 Cent' Beray" wen on pla MI, Underwood 91 83 83 80 397 'G.
