Neither player reached the 16th groen from the tee and the hole was halved in 4.
The 17th also was halved, both players registering fives.
From the 18th tee both hit nice drives, but Mr. Kraft was unfortunate in finding his ball in a bad lie, from which he was unable to reach the grees. Mr. Wodehouse managed to find the green with a fair second, eventually winning the hole in 4 Mr. Wodehouse was thus five up at the end of the first round. His approximate score for the 18 holes was 80 against Mr Kraft's 80.
This was the keynote of the contests on Saturday, many thousands of miles from the Thames and its dear associations.
