SOUTH AFRICANS SEEK HOME GOLF HONOURS
Sid Brews And Bobby Locke
Having joined the money players Bobby Locke, the most talked-about golfer of his time, has soon laid his plans. He is heading for England to make an attempt on the British Open.
A partnership has been struck with Sid Brews, with whom his career has been ao closely linked, and the pair are making the trip from South Africa together. After the Open they are going on tour, playing money matches with any two professionals who care to accept their challenge.

If Henry Cotton will find a partner will make tha a match with him South Africans very happy. They appreciate that Henry is a good draw, but Brews particularly would welcome a clash with the world's No. 1.
Brews has in mind the 1934 British Open, when he finished second to Cotton, dve strokes behind. He put in such a dramatic finish that he picked up eight strokes on the last round, and at one stage looked like catching Cotton:
