...Galleries and officials who deserted other matches to watch them finish saw something to remember. They saw Miss Collett play reckless, perfect golf to win the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth holes. Needing one more hole to keep the match alive she drove a long, low ball that hit the fairway, kicked sharply to one side, stopped square at the foot of a dead tree.

Perkins was one up until the fourth; then Jones evened the match. At the end of the morning round, Jones...
...course and the spectators sit on top of them drinking champagne. This year as usual they bought luck-charms from gypsy peddlers, cheered the Prince of Wales, waved their hats at the King, and shouted as the horses went round to the start. Lord Derby's Fairway was favorite...
