Tony Jacklin did exactly that. While everyone else was moaning and groaning, the cool little man with the classic swing was building subpar scores of 71, 70, 70 and 70 to become the first golfer to lead the Open for all four rounds since Ben Hogan did it in 1953. A native of Scunthorpe, England, who spent his youth hacking through heather and gorse, Jacklin felt right at home with the winds and wiles of Hazeltine.

...most delicate and distressingly difficult aspect of golf. In quest of an elusive "feel," professional golfers will try anything short of witchcraft to find the right putter. They experiment constantly, switching from wood shafts to glass, straight shafts to curved, aluminum heads to lead.

Marre should know that tragedy can only work in musicals if treated slyly: the sadder events of Hogan's Goat must sneak in the back door of Who to Love -for if the audience is allowed to dwell on unhappy plot developments in a musical, the audience eventually realizes how silly the whole musical convention...
