...been able to remember something other than the shots he himself had inexcusably wasted-a 3-ft. putt on the 14th, a pitch into a bunker on the 15th, making his last round a 73 instead of the 71 it should have been-Cooper last week would have had food for pleasant recollection as he cast back over his opponents' failures...
...lead all within four strokes of each other. Cooper, nicknamed "Light Horse Harry" because he plays without the exaggerated caution of most of his colleagues, made a 70 which was spectacular because it included an explosion shot that dropped into the cup at the 16th, a 45-ft. putt that did the same thing at the 17th.

From then on Mr. Rockefeller took the game seriously. Whenever he missed a putt he would practice until one ball plunked the bottom of the cup. He never walked around the course. As soon as he hit a shot, a caddy would bring him a bicycle. Tucking his feet on the handlebars he would have the caddy trundle him up the fairway. Unlike his friend Andrew Carnegie, who got hopping mad when he misplayed, pious Golfer Rockefeller merely bowed his head at adversity clucked: "Shame, shame, shame...
