IRISH AMATEUR FINALISTS

(By "Birdio")

RICHARD BURTON (Salo), the Open Cham- pion, won the "Daily Mail" £500 war-time profes- sional golf tournament with a record score of 280 -8 under four's—at Sundridge Park, Bromley, on June 14, and secured first prize of £100. The tournament, which was in aid of the British Rod Cross War Fund, nottod about £300.

Henry Cotton, former Open Champion, and last year's winner of this same tournament, was second with 281. This win is, perhaps, slight compensation to Burton for his unlucky financial period as champion.

I was a neck-and-neck struggle

between Burton and Cotton in the morning, with the former as the pace-maker. Cotton had his oyer-night lead snatched from him when Burton posted a 69 that put him 3 strokes ahead of Cotton and 4 ahead of King. The latter took 39 to the turn

of the last round, and so fell out of the running, and Burton and Cotton, with 36 and 35 respec- tively, had the field to them-

selves.
