...molded in sly ridges. In addition to this, a high wind blew through the first two rounds. A big California!!, Olin Dutra, had the low score ? 69 ? the first day but everyone said that the man to watch when the wind blew was dark, grinning Jose Jurado of the Argentine, favorite professional of the Prince of Wales, who was playing in his first U. S. Open. Wiry little Jurado hits his shots with an extraordinarily brief follow through but they are almost always straight. Last week he twitched his drives down the centre of Fresh Meadow's fairways...
...Jurado, though, was by no means the only man to watch. Walter Hagen, who used to have the biggest galleries in golf, had the biggest gallery again for his second round last week. Too proud of his appearance to wear glasses (which he probably needs), Hagen putted badly, drove well, made a left-handed recovery shot with a right-handed niblick, stayed in the running with 148 for the first two rounds. So did his partner, Wiffy Cox, who, when he failed to hole easy putts, threw away his ball and then his putter. Swart, cocky little Gene Sarazen, back...
...this Perkins well knew last week as he sat in the locker-room sipping his beer. He knew also that the only men he really had to fear were Cruickshank and Sara zen. Hagen had blown up in the morning. Dutra had taken an 8 at the 15th. Jurado, Diegel and Cox had finished with higher scores than his. But Cruickshank and Sarazen were still out on the course. Cruickshank reached the turn in 33 and Sarazen in 32. Cruickshank needed a 68 for the round to tie and Sarazen needed 69. They were playing against the worst hazard...
...Jurado started late and his gallery got larger as the players ahead of him finished. When he reached the tenth hole, there were about 20,000 people following him. One of them was his friend the Prince of Wales who, wearing a blue beret and the same kind of clothes, looked so much like Jurado that it was hard to tell them apart. Jurado made his big mistake when he sent his brassie shot into the crowd on the tenth fairway and took a five. At the 14th, playing into a stiff wind, he was on in three and down...
...safe way to play the 17th was to use an iron from the tee and play between two bends of the brook that crossed the fairway. Jurado played safe but he was nervous; his topped ball landed on a tiny island in the first bend of the brook, his third was trapped, and he took a six for the hole. On the long 18th he still had a chance to tie, if his second was on the green, or if he played his second short, got a good chip shot and sank his first putt. Jurado was cautious again...
