HAGEN PLAYS THRILLING GOLF IN "BOTH MATCHES.

Confident that their inferiority in the foursomes would not be reflect- od in, the singles matches the Bri- tish players were encouraged by cooler weather, though a hot, but brisk, breeze was blowing, How- "ever, at the end of nine holes not a single British player was leading, but Davis was all square with Farrell.

Hagen again revelled in thrill. ing gulf, placing shots, from the rough pin high for "birdies" and'
