...take up golf three years ago, hoping it would make her lose interest in playing football on a neighborhood boys' team. Four down when the match reached the 31st hole, Minneapolis' Berg had suddenly won two holes in succession, halved another and dropped a 15-ft. putt on the 34th green for a par 4. Now, if Philadelphia's Vare missed a tricky six-footer, the match would stay alive and chipper little Patty Berg would have an excellent chance to win.

On the 35th, Miss Traung just missed a long putt, stepped forward to congratulate her opponent for doing what only three other women have been able to do in 38 years: win the U. S. championship three times...
...time he was ahead. Little squared the match on the second, finished his morning round with a 69 that left him 5 up. In the afternoon, he picked up three more holes on the first nine. The holes ran out at the 29th green. Little sank a two-foot putt and Goldman stepped for ward to shake hands...
