Craig Wood Achieves Ambition Of Years
Two Major
Major U.S. Titles
Gained In Two Months
He Learned To Fade!
(By "Birdio")
AFTER ALMOST TEN YEARS of striving for one of the four top prizos in the pro. golfer's bag-the U.S. and British Opens, the U.S.P.G.A. and Masters Tournaments-in which period ho was twice boaten in roplays 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 omission in the scores for the first 36 holes was his total of 144. Clayton Henfner and Dens more Shute both had 144 and were listed at the top, but there i was no mention of Craig Wood!;
Shute was second ir, the Open with ¦ 387, and it was pleasant revenge for Word that Shute had finished early and was being lauded champion in the Clubhouse when he came through strongly over the last 10 and snatch- ed this title away, for In 1933 these two shared first place in the British Open, and Shute won the replay.
Then in 1939, the American Open slipped from his grasp when he led
with Byron Nelson, und Nelson's
mante was inscribed on the roit of champions after the replay.
Peculiarly, he took revenge on this

THIS latter victory for Wood had, D. Hutchinson Saunder
perhaps, the finer flavour, for with it he laid out the bogey of almost ten years., Like the brides- maid who was ever a bridesmaid and never the bride, he had been hover- ing around the top for many years. Other than the two instances just mentioned, he lost the PG.A. ille to Paul Ruryan in 1034 on the 38th hole, and in this year and the next (1935) had been very close to the Masters title.
his Thus, Wood, who Ls near 19th birthday, has reached the peak that most other golfers attain ten years sooner. He was con- ceding that difference in АБС 30 players like Nelson, and Ben Hogan, bat those years, said Wood, had been spent in learning the shots enabled him to become the that cr master of the Masters. "When I first started golf," stated, "I was a natural hooker, and to overcome, that I had to learn fades,"

THAT is quite a different version of that constitutes a good golfer
