He played superbly too in the four some in which Ferguson and he beat Budd and Binko, and on the day was better than any of the other three, all of whom were in clined to be a little wild in their long game. In the singles Budd had really got the feel of his patter, and it was mainly by holing one or two long putts that he got ahead of Marton.
