...real surprise was Clark Graebner, 22, a gangly, bespectacled Ohioan, who ranks only No. 13 in the U.S.-though he did beat the world's No. 2 and No. 3 players, Australia's Roy Emerson and Fred Stolle, to win a tournament Down Under last year. Up to now, Graebner's trouble has been a relatively weak backhand, which has kept him from a Davis Cup singles berth.

...headline in the Columbus Citizen in 1954. Sportswriters compared Jack to Bobby Jone-who had captured the Georgia Amateur at 14, gone on to the third round of the National Amateur. Even Jones showed up to watch Nicklaus play in his first U.S. Amateur at 15, and the Ohioan was so rattled by his presence that he hit a drive into the woods on one hole, skulled his approach on the next, made a total mess of a third and lost the match...
