...stroke with a par four; Fleck promptly took it back on the twelfth. Going to the 18th, the bone-weary veteran was one stroke down. There was still a chance, but he hooked his drive off the high tee into thick, impossible rough to the left of the fairway. He needed three frustrating wedge shots to dribble clear, another to reach the green. A nervy, soft, downhill putt after his pitch to the green was wasted. Fleck, playing carefully all the way, was on in two. He took no chances. He babied his ball across 15 ft. of green...

...until the 18th hole of the last round was he in real trouble. Then he hooked his drive deep into the rough. Trees blocked his route to the green. But by then he had the tough course licked. He curved a long, lovely iron shot out onto another fairway, was on the apron of the green in three, chipped up neatly and dropped a tricky, downhill putt for his par five. He had finished with an impressive 284, and he was ahead of the pack...
With his blazing game Snead helped to drive the nation's golf scores down from the low 705 to the low 60s. (Improved equipment-notably the steel shaft and the larger ball, and such gadgets as the power mower and the fairway sprinkler systems-helped.)
