THE CHINA MAIL. TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1958.

Ben Hogan Talks Of Tactics For The Open

This Carnoustie is a great course, worthy of a Championship. After having formed a lot of ideas about it since arriving, one I definitely have is that those odds of 5-2 I am told they are quoting against me winning should be an awful lot higher.

First of all must qualify, and believe me that can be quite a job. At least we find it so in the States,

Wouldn't it be great to come 3,500 miles and not even get into the Cham-

pionship!

Of course, it was an inland course of a different type from Carnoustic. You have never seen fairways so narrow. You were lucky when they were 20 yards wide. And those bunkers!

I do like about Carnoustic is its mand. Playing out of thoro bunkers round the greens is no trouble at all, just like an ordinary shot,

Bobby Locke Breaks

Course Record-Five Ahead Of Hogan

Carnoustie, Scotland, July 6. Balby Locke, the defending Champion from South Africa, broke the Burnside course record with a 65 when the 36-hole qualifying rounds of the British Open Golf Championship began today. He was out in 33 and home in a 'magnificent 32.

Half the field played over the Burnside course and half over the much longer and most testing Carnoustic Championship course,

Ben Hogan, the fabulous American" who is hot favourite for the title, finished five strokes behind Locke, sharing fourth place among the Burnside returns on the 70 mark.

Incidentally, it is quite a sur- prise to know the Carnoustic course has hardly been altered for this Cliamplonship. at all There is a vory important difference in outlook" between Britain and America

on this point.

In Bditain, they start out by saying: "We will build a great golf course." They go ahead and do it. Once they have it they reckon it is good enough for a Championship the way It is,

In ¿America, they

picked for a Championship, they sit down and think: "Now, how can we make it tougher?"

British courses, judged by Carnoustic, are really rugged.

in America they look morc "manicured."

You feel as though they were sideboards on either side of the fairway.

Carnoustie is not like that, Up to now I have been finding it hard to fix the target.

A Solid 151

Against Gloucestershire

London, July 6.

Don Kenyon, Worcestershire's opening batsman who has been dropped from the England Test team to meet Australia, forcibly replied to the selectors with a solid innings of 151. against Gloucestershire in their County match today.

Kenyon was unusually restrained, particularly against the spin bowlers, but by sound methods reached 151 in five hours and 40 minutes with the aid of 15 fours.
