...that Marshall Smith has written for TIME'S Sport department in the last four years. An ex-prep school swimmer and football player, he confesses to an insider's knowledge of only one sport: horse racing (his father was a horse owner and trainer who made the circuit from Cuba to Montreal for 15 years). Smith, who is 34, came to TIME five years ago via his native Baltimore's Evening Sun, the Providence Star-Tribune and Journal, where he wrote sports and features for seven years, and the NBC news room.

But he got off on the 1948 winter circuit at Riviera with a sparkling 275 (nine strokes under par) to win the Los Angeles Open and set a new course record. At St. Louis in May, he gave Mike Turnesa one of the worst drubbings (7 and 6) of Mike's career in the final of the P.G.A. championship. Last June at Riviera, where he got the big one -the U.S. Open-he chipped five off the old tournament...
