Allan Kuhn, 26, and Jack ("Murph the Surf") Murphy, 27, all habitués of Miami Beach spas.

Championship, hit a tree and three traps, still scored a 69 for the round...
...hauled in two men in Miami and two in New York. The two arrested in Miami, charged with transporting stolen jewelry across state lines, were skindivers; one of them, a chap named Jack Murphy, 27, also a skilled surfboarder, is known to his friends as "Murph the Surf."
