But in his first Open (1950), he placed ninth behind Hogan. Last year, improving steadily, he was fourth. Boros now faces an ironic situation. Unless the Professional Golfers' Association waives-its five-year eligibility rulings, U.S. Open Champion Boros will not be allowed to play in this week's P.G.A. tournament...
