...14th, Emery misplayed a recovery from sand and took 4 to Little's 3. On the 15th, Little had a birdie 3 to Emery's 5. At the 16th, with Emery dormie, Little hit two prodigious wood shots to a green 512 yd. away, sank his putt for an eagle, and walked over to shake hands...
...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. Her small, earnest oval face set in serious lines, Mrs. Vare leaned over her ball...

In those protracted seconds while the ball was rolling smoothly toward...
...opponent who, almost unknown before the tournament started, now seemed very likely to take the third major U. S. golf title of the year back to California, Miss Van Wie evened the match at the end of the morning round. 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...
