They started off very con- fidently in the fourth set and were leading 2-1 40/30 on Fincher's service, when after a rally, one of the Tauls' lobbed the ball back deep to Hung who being under the Impression that it was out, did not play. I However, the umpire ruled it right and the point was giren to the Truls Hung was ...obviously upset by this and it came as no surprise when the score be- came two all instead of 3-1, -understand that the Enesman ac- tually did give the ball out but was not heard by the umpire.

The question arose: Had Colton incurred a penalty?
The rule on the point states clearly that a ball lying on clothes may be dropped or placed by the player not nearer the hole, with- out penalty.
By allowing. the spectator to perform the act Cotton, strictly speaking, committed a breach of the rules, involving a penalty of two strokes. From the point of view of equity the committee, quite rightly I think, decided that Cotton had incurred no penalty.

Cotton's round of 75, which put him out of the running was full of incident. On more than occasion, to obvious annoyance as missing a short putt, he banged the ball on the green.
