CRACKS CRACK UP AT THE FIFTH HURDLE: THE LAST EIGHT. SIMMERING with surprises throughout the day as one giant after another fell before new stars in the golfing firmament, the struggle in the British Amateur Golf Championship at Westward Ho brimmed over with sensation in the afternoon. In the slaughter, the two greatest English post-war amateur golfers, Cyril Tolley and Roger Wethered were knocked out, together with the last remaining foreign challenger, Voight, the American crack.
There are now six Englishmen, one Irishman and one Scotsman left in to fight for the title. None of these have ever won it before.
The complete fifth round results, showing the last eight, follow!
