London, July 15. BECAUSE he is the youngest member of the British Ryder Cup team, it was perhaps fitting that J. J. Busson, of the Pannal Club, Harrogate, should win the professional tourna- ment at Malvern on Saturday. In the final he beat R. A. Whitcombe, of Parkstone, Dorset, at the 20th hole.

Busson, who is 24, and British match-play champion, gave further proof, if such were needed, of conspicuous ability both in the card-and-pencil business and the single combat, two wide- ly different forms of the game.

Busson faced two crises, and surmounted each with a cool- ness and skilf that would have done credit to that wonderful campaigner and tactician. Walter Hagen. One crisis was in-the semi-final against that dashing, fearless young man, W. J. Cox; and the other in the final against the hard-hitting, experienced player. Whitcombe Busson beat Cox only at the eighteenth. and in doing so had a round of 69.
