ARCHIE COMPSTON'S BRAVE

NECK-AND-NECK WITH COTTON FOR BIG GOLF PRIZE

By CHARLES BUCHAN

BOURNEMOUTH, Apr. 1.

No finer send-off for the big golfing season could have been wished for than the tie for first place between Henry Cotton and Archie Compston in the "Daily Mail" Tourna ment at Queen's Park.

Open

Champion,

Colton, twice although still only 32 years of age,; and Compston, returning to tourna ment play at the uge of 48 after two years absence owing to illness, pro- vided

a huge crowd with a succession to be of thrills. These ore likely

to- repeated in the 36-holes replay

morrow.

So closely were the pair Interlock- ed that the result depended upon Compatan's 12-yard putt on the last green.

1 stood next to Cotton, who had finished half an hour earlier and he said: "If he takes three putts It's all right: if he holes it, it's just too bad."

Compston's putt ended a yard from the hole on a left-handed slope, but he managed to put the ball down aufely for the 4 which enabled him to the with Cotton.

FIVE HOLES IN 16

That was the end of. n thrilling struggle which had lasted the whole way round. At the end of the third round the pair were level with 221. Colton, as he admitted to me, had thrown away a good chance by taking six at the 18th, where he drove into at whin bush.

But when Colton started the last round with 4, 3, 4, 3,-2 (10 shots for the first five holes) everyone thought the first prize of £500 safely in his pocket. Compston had other ideas. He began with 17 shots for the same. holes and then got on terms with a great 4 at the long plateau-greened 7th.

VITAL LAST HOLE

Bth

Taking. three pults on the green, Compston was n shot behind again, but he drew level at the next hole with a 4 against Catton's 5. He might have gone ahead at the 11th, where Cotton had had another 6, but again took three putts from the edge of the green.

Both falled to reach the uphill 14th in two shots, and eventually, after por Agures for the intervening holes. they came to the 18th with Cotton: leading by stroke. After a fine drive he played a No. 1 iron from a hanging fle and the ball fell short the green. His run-up ended of three yards past the dag und the first putt minsed by inches, to make the hole cost 5.

CURTIS FINISHES THIRD Compston's Arst two shots at this hole took his ball 12 yards past the flag, and I have already told you how

got his 4.

Hts, I thought, the bitter perform ance, for he was the later player, knowing all the time what Colton had done, yet never faltering.

He had a salff of smelling salts at the fourteenth, but showed no signs of perturbation, and throughout his gront round played only one really bad shot-n Buffed approach at the long twelfth.
