...current program gives us Miss Hayes and Mr. Evans (both a bit insecure in their lines on opening night) trying vainly to recapture the aura of their 1940 production of Twelfth Night together. It suggests nothing so much as the U.S.S. Caine's Captain Queeg trying to relive his triumphal solution of the bygone cheese theft when a quart of fresh Strawberries was unaccounted for.

Plagued all tournament long by putts that simply would not drop-including one eight-footer that hung stubbornly on the rim while he waited for 3½ minutes-Palmer now could not miss. He birdied the ninth and eleventh holes, holed another birdie on the twelfth, and sliced Nicklaus' margin to a single stroke. Scoreboards flashed the news, and fans flocked back to watch Palmer stage another of those whirlwind rallies that have made him the most exciting golfer of his time...
