He was one shot ahead of U.S. Open champion Hubert Green and three former British Open champions—Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. Maltbie was not the only American who came to Scotland expecting high winds and felt let down by the strange calm. “This was going to be an ex perience for me,” Maltbie said. “I wanted to learn the pitch and run shots which I hear so much about from Scotland. “I know it’s a shot I would not be very good at.

I’ve only played four or five real pitch and run shots the whole time I’ve been here.” The rare good weather pro duced sensations. Green holed in one at the 167-yard fourth — the fourth competiive ace of his career. Mark Hayes shot 63 — the lowest round ever recorded in the 117-year history of the British Open and tied for fifth place on 139 with Peter Butler of Britain. Yet only a dozen men broke par on the 6,875-yard course. “That is a tribute to the golf course,” said Watson. “It is not an easy golf course, even when there is no wind.” The old course record for the British Open was 65, first set by Britain’s Henry Cotton at Sandwich in 1934. Eight players have equalled it since, including Angel Gallardo of Spain, who briefly stole the glory with a 65 Thursday morning. But he had scored 78 on the first day and did not get within striking distance of the leaders. Hayes, of Edmond, Okla, used the cross-handed grip for season. Under Lomax, the Wildcats won their first Southern Inter collegiate Athletic Conference championship in 1970. He then guided the team to four more SIAC championships, including one last season. He will remain at the school as an assistant to President Cleveland Pettigrew. Athletic Director J.E.
