Brosch, a 40-year-old teaching pro from Garden City, N. who only on part of the winter tour in a few major events each year, held that sometimes enviable position today after shooting an opening round of 6fl in the ft2nd National Open Championship. That was one of two sub-par rounds manufactured by the field of 162 in the first day of play on the heat blanketed Northwood Course.

But there were enough of them In the 71 and 72 scoring bracket to threaten Broach's lead. But Brosch, who celebrates his IGlh wedding anniversary today, doesn't intend to let that happen. He has seen it too often before, Long known as one of the game's smoothest swingers, player who might win a lot of money if he chose to follow the tournament trail, Brosch never has finished better than sixth in the open.
