Shute, who said later that he had set himself the task of keeping ahead of Wood for the first round, had one tight moment when his approach caught Ginger-beer bunker on the 14th. He pitched out, sank his putt for a birdie and ended the first 18 holes still three strokes up. In the afternoon, Wood took 39 to the turn as he had done in the morning.
