since she became Mrs Dale Berning on May 18 1968 the former Susie career has blossomed She won her first Open at Fleetwood Pa only months after she was married and her triumph Sunday comes 19 months after she left the tour to give birth to a daughter Robin took me a year to get my strength back after the said Mrs Berning who plays only half the LPGA tournaments now so that she can devote more time with her family feel a lot stronger than I did last year but still not as strong as I used to Mrs Berning who travels the circuit with her husband daughter and 17-year-old babysitter in a mobile home was very surprised with her victory She had all but given up hope of winning after the first day when she had a 79 really think I had a chance to win it at all and when I three-putted 15 today I

like in for another drubbing July 10 16 when the 1972 GMO is held tricking up the is the attitude of the tourney officials Pearce said rough will be longer because had a heavy spring but he said it will be a length so that a good swing rather than brute strength will get the ball The 6514 yard course long by pro standards and that makes for low par smashing scores the kind fans like to watch

five sub-par rounds recorded in the four-day event three-putt on No 15 had dropped her two strokes behind Miss Barnett who was playing a pair of twosomes behind Mrs Berning But when Pam also bogeyed the 13th Susie got the stroke back After saving par on No 16 by sinking a tricky uphill seven-foot putt Mrs Berning gained a tie by canning a 20-foot putt for a birdie on the dangerous 200-yard par three 17th hole The 17th had been the most difficult hole for the girls throughout the tournament and so it was no surprise when Miss Barnett bogeyed the hole to give Susie the lead Mrs Berning parred the 18th and when Miss second shot was short of the 18th green it was all over and Mrs Berning was $6000 richer Miss Barnett who had started the day with birdies on the first two holes lost control of her game on the easy phr 3 sixth hole when she hit her tee shot into the sand trap and took a bogey four After pairing No 7 she preceded to bogey eight nine and 10 COMEAU SOLD MONTREAL Center Reynauld
