Craig Wood Achieves Ambition Of Years
Two Major U.S. Titles Gained In Two Months
He Learned To Fade!
(By "Birdie").
AFTER ALMOST TEN YEARS of striving for one of the four top prizes in the pro. golfer's bag-the US and British Opens, the U.S.P.G.A. and Mastors Tournaments-in which period he was twice beaten in replays and once on the 38th hole, Craig Wood has won not one but two of the titles in as many months!
In April he won the Augusta Masters Tournament, and on Sunday he took first place in the U.S. Open.
His scores in the Open were .73. 71, 70-284, but a peculiar umission in the scores for the first 30 holes was his total of 144. Clayton Henfner and Dens- more Shute both had 144 and were listed at the top, but there

was no mention of Craig Wood! "Y" To-night
Shute was second in the Open with 287, and I was pleasant revenge for Wood that Shute had finished curty and was being lauded champion in the Clubhouse when he came through strongly over the last 10 and snatch- ed the title away, for in 1933 these two shared first place in the British Open, and Shule won the replay.
the American Open Then slipped from his grasp when he led with Byron Nelson, and Nelson's name was inscribed on the roll of champions after the replay.

Peculiarly, he took revenge on this latter player in the Masters Tourna- ment this year, winning by three strokes over the lust nine holes!

IAT is quite a different version of what constitutes a good golfer
to that from one of the fair sex at Deep Water Bay recently. After making a shot she was
Kently chided for not keeping her hend down and watching the ball.
"Oh, anyone can hit the ball if you look at it," she replied. "It is a good Holfer that can do it without!"
