...waited for the pressure to do its work. One by one. Palmer's competitors cracked. Saddest sight of all was the collapse of Hogan. Tied with Palmer at four under par going into the last two holes, Hogan landed in the water on the 1 7th for a bogey. On the 18th, the old mechanical man made a pitiable mechanical mistake: he lifted his head on a putt, topped the ball and suffered a triple-bogey 7 that shoved him back to even par.

They saw in the American student a great potential power to demonstrate, to march, and to make a substantial political gesture gone to waste...
...Marysville, and "I thought golf-course owners should have at least one golfer in the family." Off the course, she keeps up a constant line of chatter, whether her game is going well ("Gee, this is all a crazy dream. I can't believe it") or poorly ("Bogey, bogey, bogey. Inexcusable. What a bonehead...
