European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 23, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 18 the stars and stripes thursday May 23 a f by John Williamson speaking of open Tennis and i was in my last session Here led me to wondering How amateurs in other Fields of ath Letic Endeavor have fared when they entered into combat against professionals in the same Field. Research in the Field is rather limited because As far As can be ascertained the Golf links Are about the Only other place where the Simon Pures and the  for play people have mixed it up without fear of Mutual , if the results of open Golf Are any indication Amateur ten Nis As a big time sport is on its Way to virtual  since the United states Golf association Urga held its first tournaments in the United states in 1895 there has been Ope play Between professionals and amateurs in the . Open. The open has been held every year since except for a two year break during world War i and a four year interruption for world War ii. During that time amateurs have won Only eight of the titles an four of these were captured by one golfer the immortal Robert Tyre Jones or. Jones of course was in a class by Hon Telf. He won his first open in 1923, his second in 1926 and then closed his career Witback to Back victories in 1929 and 1930. In Between his four wins he finished in second place in 1924, 1925 and 1928. None of the pros have Ever equated that record Over an eight year Span. Since Bobby s feat Only one medal in lieu of Cash has been presented to an open Winner and that was 35 years ago. In 1933 Johnny Goodman edged out Ralph Guldahl by one stroke at the North Shore Golf club in Glenview 111., and since then it has been the pros All the  Jones the Amateur winners of the open were Francis Ouimet in 1913, Jerome travers in 1915 and Charles Evans in 1916. Strong recent attempts two amateurs in recent years have made Strong attempts to breathe 35-year dry spell that has existed since Goodman s Triumph but both fell Short. In 1960 big Jack Nicklaus then the . Amateur Champion was in Contention for the Crown All the Way. Two three putt greens on the last nine holes proved his undoing As he lost out by two strokes to Arnold Palmer who closed with a Brilliant 65 for first place. Jack turned pro in 1962 and gained revenge against Arnie by whipping him 74-71, in an 18-Hole playoff for the open Crown at Oakmont pa., after they had finished tied with283s during regulation play. Last year Marty Fleckman a 23-year-old Amateur from Portarthur tex., made a Strong run at breaking the domination of the pros As he jumped into the Lead after the first round of the open with a Fine 67. His second round 73 left him behind Palmer Nicklaus and Billy Asper who were in first second and third place respectively but he stormed Back with six birdies and a 69 on the third Day to go into the final round in first place again one stroke up on the same Trio of pros. He skied to an 80 on the final Day to finish in Atie for 18th place As Nicklaus fired a 65 to beat Palmer by four strokes for the  again the pros had prevailed and it appears that 35 years May stretch out to 135, As the outstanding Young golfers lured by the fantastic payoffs on the pro tour turn professional at the earliest possible moment rather than tackle the big time Asan Amateur. The evolution in Tennis seems destined to follow along the same lines. Exception proves Rule if you need an exception to prove the Rule leave it to the ladies the . Women s open Golf championship was inaugurated la ? As a match play event and changed to medal Competition the following year. For 21 years the girls of the ladies professional Golf association Lyga dominated the event fighting off Al challenges by amateurs. Then last summer at hot Springs va., a Chunky 22-year-Oldfrom France changed All that. Miss Catherine Lacoste daughter of Rene Lacoste of French Davis cup Fame in the 1920 a charged Toa five stroke Lead at the end of the first two rounds of play and coasted through the final two Days to win the title by two strokes Over misses Susie Maxwell and Beth Stone of the Lyga. Not Only was miss Lacoste the first Amateur to win the open Crown she was also the first foreigner and the youngest competitor to Ever walk away with top honors. After winning the open mis Lacoste packed her bags and her Golf clubs and took off Back to France leaving the Lyga without an open Winner to use for promotion on the rest of the summer tour. While she might have captured the adulation of american Golf fans she certainly did tender herself to people involved in promoting the ladies pro i wonder if she will be invited Back this year twins defeat tigers 3-1 White sox trip o s in 12 Baltimore a Gerry Mcnertney s single in the 12th inning drove in the winning run tues Day night As the Chicago White sox outlasted Baltimore 2-1.
