the first nine holes and apparently doomed to take a bad licking Turnesa rallied to wm five straight holes and square the match at the end of the morning round He took the lead for the first time at the 27th hole in the afternoon and then clung tenaciously to his advantage in a hot fight down the home stretch to close Chapman out on the 34th green Stroking like an automaton once he got poor 41 out of his system on the first nine holes of the match Turnesa played some of the greatest golf of the week as he shot the final 25 holes in three strokes under even fours over the soggy Carnoustie layout Even pars on the last two holes enabled him to close out Chapman who couldnt get down his putts On (he 34th he studied his ptitt nearly five minutes and stroked it carefully but it refused to drop and Turnesa was the champion Newton Mass May 31 UP) After matching the Goodall golf tournament's single round 65 record Bobby Locke the hair-splitting South African star today appeared to be the
