...others practiced too, and Locke's opening 69 was one stroke off the pace. On the second round, he seemed to slip a cog on the par-three fifth hole. His tee shot slid into the rough, his attempt to get out of trouble landed him in a bunker. His third shot failed to clear, and he had to take a fat six strokes on the little hole...

He missed an 18-inch putt on the dogleg 15th. On the 17th he lost another stroke by trapping his tee shot, settled for a three-way tie with Mangrum and Washington, D.C. Pro George Fazio...

This gave sharp-eyed Stranahan a good chance to see what the wind was doing to his opponent's lofting second shots, calculate his own with the information in mind. Though Stranahan was six over...
