20 DELAWARE COUNTY (PA.) Wednesday. June 14. 1961 DAILY TIMES IN NATIONAL OPEN GOLF 150 Men to Test The Monster' BIRMINGHAM, Midi. (AP)-It will be 150 men against the monster when play starts Thursday in the 61st National Open golf championship. The monster was the name given the Oakland Hills course in 1951, when Ben Hogan won here.

It has stuck. To golf-wise persons the contest isn't so much among the 150 players, survivors of an original field of more than 2,400, but the men against the course. In the decade since Hogan won the third of his four Open titles, the monster has been gentled a trifle and a new generation of golfers has grown up. They've heard of Oakland Hills and have learned to respect it during practice, but they don't shudder at its fearsome reputation. The principal changes In the course have been the elimination of seven traps, mostly in the target areas and some changes to greens.

Golf architect Robert Trent Jones estimates it is 2 to 2 strokes a round easier unless the rough is allowed to grow deep at some danger spots. Arnold Palmer, the defending champion, said Tuesday he thought a 72-hole score between 275 and 280 would win. The Open record is 276, set by Hogan at Riviera in 1948. Jimmy Demarel shot 278 the same year and Palmer's winning 280 at Cherry Hills last year is the next-best score ever made in the Open. Palmer based his estimate on the number of scores in the 60s that have been made in practice.

But pins aren't placed in difficult positions for practice rounds and in the last few days the course has been baked dry and hard by searing 90-degree heat. In practice Tuesday, Bob Shields, 31, a 245-pound club pro from Quincy, 111., shot for the best practice score, and three-putted the last green. Walter Burkemo, former PGA champion from Franklin, who used lias to work at had rounds Oakland Hills, Palmer, 31, and Gary Player. 26, stocky South African, are tabbed as co-favorites. Palmer has won four tournaments and Piayer three this year.

Two others can't be overlooked--Sam Snead, 49, and Hogan, who'll bo 49 in a couple of months. Snead never has won the Open and is Doug Sanders, with a painfully injured back, fired 69. of 69-68-70-67. desperately anxious to take this title. Hogan is equally anxious to become the first ever to win five HOGAN AND PALMER PRACTICE FOR U.S.

George Katz, manager of Liston, had said "the whole thing was a mistake" and it shouldn't hurt his chances for a crack at the title.
