tie. Ouimet took 77 strokes for the
18 holes. while Dr. Willing required
78.
A large crowd watched the players.
The sun was shinning brightly and
only a light breeze“ was blowing over
the links.
Oulmet led by one stroke at the
ninth hole and by two strokes at the
16th.
It was a hard fought contest with
Dr. Wiiing on Ouimet's heels all the
way. At the 18th hole the Oregon
champion approach shot came within
three inches of the cup. Had it drop-
ped in. it would have tied the match.
Ouimet went out in 87 and Will-
ing in 38. The Boston golfer's play
was steady and consistent although
his putting might he“ been improv-
ed upon. He took taro putts on every
green except two and needed three on
that one.
VViiilng was frequntly in the rough
and in the bunkers. but he hung on
teneciousiy. largely through his su-
periority in putting. It was not until
he reached the lift: that he required
several putts. at the second. third and
fifth. and eighth and 11th holes he
needed only one.
Ouimet took the lead at the first
hole by four to flVe eitho.h he re-
quired three putts to get in. Will-
