...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. He was in trouble only twice, both times on the wicked 17th hole-a crooked par four that called for an iron...
...Jacklin's victory, following hard on his triumph at the British Open last summer, marks him at 25 as one of the most promising young pros on the tour. Though he dropped out of school at 15 to play golf, he did not join the U.S. pro circuit until 1968.

Life at the front so embittered him that Naomi came to believe he hated her. Accordingly, she did away with their unborn, illegitimate child. Later...
Young Lant, Jacklin's youngest son, shot up like an indigenous growth. When the rest of the children married and moved away, with old Lant dead, the youngster stepped easily into his daddy's shoes. For a while he made a good living for his mother and himself by hunting and fishing. Then hard times came. Lant salvaged and rafted cypress logs down to the sawmill; when there were no more to salvage he made the supreme sacrifice of trying to get a job in a mill. But he was just as pleased when there were no jobs...
