Leneman's Sunday art, which went on exhibition in a Los Angeles gallery last week, is as rich, sweet and indigestible as a double fudge sundae with caramel sauce. His cakey circus clowns, blobbed Bible scenes and dripping bouquets made many gallerygoers smile. But fellow artists were impressed. "How," they kept asking, "does he get his effects...

When he arrived in the U.S. last April, galleries were impressed with his jaunty plus fours, his cheery smile, the way he tipped his cap to applause. Even more impressively, he won four of his first six tournaments against the best U.S. pros (TIME, June 9). Former U.S. Open Champion Lawson Little said ruefully: "He hasn't anything on anybody over here except concentration . .-. and he's the finest putter who ever putted...
