HECTOR THOMSON BADLY IN ARREARS
Carnoustie, To-day...
Ed. Dudley, member of the United States Ryder Cup teams of 1929 (Moortown), 1933 (Southport) and the one just concluded at Southport, led the field in the First Round for the British Open Golf Championship, which commenced over the Carnoustie course yester- day, when he returned a score of 70, two under par. Dudley was surprisingly followed by four Britons, W. A. MacMinn, former West of Scotland champion, Alfred Padgham, the holder, W. J. Branch, the Belgian champion, and Reginald Whitcombe, the 1935 British Ryder Cup player, who all had scores of 72.
