In the Phoenix Open, it was twelve under, as compared with six under last year; in the Tucson Open, it was 15 under, as compared with ten. Doug Sanders needed a nine-under 275 to eke out a one-stroke victory in last month's Doral Open, and when the Greater Greensboro Open reached the halfway point last week, no less than 29 golfers had sub-par scores...
