Suddenly, without a waggle, in a pause that hardly broke his stride, his club described an invisible arc; several seconds afterward, pushing its path through the lucent walls of summer air, the sound of his spoon-shot reached the two old men. The youth, running as hard as he could, disappeared behind the hill; reemerged, a short time after, upon another; played one of his polo-like strokes-was off again.

After 18 holes more, grinning Diegel still grinned. Another 18, played in a high east wind, and Hagen still padded along in second place, four strokes behind Diegel, The two played together in the final round, Hagen suave...
