De Gaulle's party thus became the first in nearly 100 years to win an outright majority in that chamber. His major leftist rivals, the Communists and the Federation of the Democratic Socialist Left, lost more than half of the seats that they had held in the outgoing Assembly, ended up with a combined total of only 90 votes.

A second-round 72 left Geiberger one stroke off the pace set by doughty old (54) Sam Snead; but Snead was suffering from a painfully pulled groin muscle, dropped six strokes behind next day when Al shot his second...
