MASTERS' AFTERMATH
_ AUGUSTA NATIONAL GOLF COURSE, April 12—
Three guesses as so the most-oft-repeated question at
the Masters Tournament.

Wrong.
Why do they make the greens so tricky? Wrong
again.
.. What was the real score on Frank Stranahan?
You're out. Vi i

back to the golf course to stay?

be planted a week or ten days

Grit is important for turkeys.
If no coarse grit is available in

SWARTHY WINGED FOOT PROFESSIONAL
TEES LONG, LOW SHOTS, TAKES '3
ADVANTAGE OF WIND TO TIE MEET RECORD
By EDWIN POPE
s e Seerg REINRE s el
AUGCUSTA NATIONAL GOLF COURSE, April 12—
Back in mid-week, when the hail began to fall and the
wind began to blow, predictions were made that the
winning score in this 12th Annual Masters Golf Tour
nament would not be under 283. :
It took a little guy built like
a .wre-piug, one who used the
wind as if it- were a crutch, to
make them all look bad. Claude
Harmon’s record tying 279 yes
terday will not be soon forgotten,
for the 31-year-old professional
from Winged Foot Club at Mam
aroneck, N. Y., made his sensa
tional tally under the most ad
verse conditions.
Topmost Rung
The victory was worth $2, 500
but, for more than that, he gained
the topmost rung in golfing’s lad
der—a Mesters Tournament vic
tory. ‘And his 279 tied the Mas
ters’ record set by Ralph Guldahl
in 1939, -
Cary Middlecoff came in be
hind the swarthy Harmon, but he
was five strokes back and Claude
was never in' danger. Middlecoff
had a 284 for segond rank in an
array of the world’s best link
men.
™ thi~d place with 287 was
Chick Harbert of Detroit, who
had the betting market cornered
Saturday night. Because of his
penchant for blasting goif-balls
through wind, hail and what-not,
Harbert was a heavy choice to
overtake Harmon in the finals.
He blew up on the first nine of
the final round, finally carded a
281.
Lloyd Mangrum and Jim Fer
rior, both of Chicago, tied for
fourth-and.matched par at 288.
Skill In Wind
Harmon’s amazing skill in the
wind counted heavily in his first
major tournament triumph. He
teed long, low shots, the kind
with which the wing interfered
least. And, too, the tension wasn’t
tough on Claude, since he had come
more for the pleasyre than with
any idea of winning. and wasn’t
given g chance until he took the
lead.
But the pressure came in the final
18 holes and Harmon proved
himgelf equal to it. He went out
in 33, three under par, and cinched‘
it there when Harbert took a 39.
But on the final nine, Harmon
took: quite a chance. He chose to
try for an eagle on the 480-yard,l
dog-leg 13th, which was a sure‘
par five for anyone playing his
