...waiting at the tee and then out of embarrassment at this faux pas began to play sloppy golf. The doctor started creeping up and at the 30th hole, the match was even. On the 34th Little was two up again, but Dr. Tweddell won the 35th. On the 36th. Little sliced his drive, made a magnificent 100-yd. iron recovery and putted his third shot to the lip of the cup.
