COTTON CRACKS UP WITH RECORD IN SIGHT
Takes 13 For Two Holes At Important Stage Of British Golf "Open"
From F. J. C. Pignon
St. Andrews, July 7.
The most dramatic failure of Henry Cotton to break the record of the course, and hoad the field, was the final drama of a day of astonishing golf here at the open championship to-day.
With five holes to play, it was within the compass of Britain's No. 1 golfer to do a round of 67, and more than 20,000 people saw him crash as completely as ever a great
man has toppled.
He took 13 for two holes and finished in 72, four shots behind Richard Burton, who earned first place at the head of the field with a magnificent score of 142,
One stroke behind Burton comes Martin Pose, 20-years-old stylist from the Argentine, and following him, is John Fallon, young assistant, while the whole feld taking part to-morrow in the remaining 30 holes of the championship covered by nine strokes, because all but the
leading 34 players have been com- pulsorily retired,
The story of Cotton's fallure will be told in St. Andrews for many a
day.
came to the long hole, which cost him eight yesterday.
The nightmare memory of a pulled drive had to be obliterated. Locke told me he was determined to fight the "beardles" this time. Fie did.

Volunteers Overcome
He hit n long drive along the Golf boundary wall, but even with the wind blowing the ball into bounds, there was enough cut in it to carry the ball over the wall, and out of bounds. With stroke and distance penalty Locke did well to get a seven. He took six at the 17th. He just cleared the sheds, over which the drive must be made, and was rough up to his knees. He got out and playing three pulled his Iron Into the same bunker as Bruen had left, and actually into the same mark. He

He finished in 75, two ahead of Bruen, and still very much in the picture.

wind magnificently, and down wind he sacrificed length for direction by using his brassle on the tee, with the result that he was never alf the
course.

N, Martin Pose, as a stylist, is as excellent a model as the late Harry Vardon, and his long swing, with no noticcable hitting effort about it, is a joy to watch.
