Brownell Impressive
In Winning D. C. Golf
Title, Top Rating
By Merrell Whittlesey
The question was raised at the
National Amateur championship
last week in New Jersey. "How many
golfers in the field hit the ball bet
ter than Bobby Brownell?" The
answer, admittedly from a District
golf fan, was "not many."
The several hundred galleryites
who watched Brownell win his sec
ond District Amateur championship
with a near flawless performance
against Ralph Bogart yesterday at
Columbia Country Club were of the
same opinion. There are not many
shotmakers outside of the pro ranks
who can match the lean 27-year-old
FBI agent in the execution of his
shots.
If the Manor Club ace could have
dodged that bad putting streak mid
w’av in his first round match in the
National, he could have been a
quarterfinalist or semifinalist. He
was in the softer bracket. Most of
the star golfers at Baltusrol knew
Brownell and respected him. One
of these days he is going to get over
the hump—nationally.
Pla.v* Machmelikr Golf.
Brownell was a machine in his
4-and-2 triumph over Bogart in the
District final. He missed par only
on the par-3 13th where he hooked
8 long iron. He had 11 straight
pars, birdied the 12th. w'ent over on
13. parred 14. birdied the 15th and
ended the match with a par on 16.
His birdies were from 15 and 25
foot putts. He made a pair of those
teasing 5-footers for pars and putted
well all day.
Columbia was a championship test
of golf last week, as alw-ays.
Brownell played a qualifying round
and five matches, drew tough op
ponents all the way. and was even
par for the three days' play. The
tee markers were back to the fences
You can't make many mistakes in
five rounds at Columbia and play
par golf.
Bogart, seeking to make local golf
history with four city champion
ships. was a flashy player up to the
final but he won only one hole in
the title match—the fifth where he
dropped a 14-footer for a birdie. In
the easier bracket. Bogart was a
total of 16 up in three matches up
to the final, including a 6-and-5 tri
umph with 2-under-par golf against
Maury Nee yesterday morning.
Bobby Is Tops in D. ('.
Brownell played 2 under par
• gainst Volne.v Burnett in the semi
finals in edging past the fireman
for No. 1 amateur honors locally this
season, Brownell won the Kenwood
Invitation, beating Burnett in the
final and the District, four one-day
•vents and qualified for the National
here and for the match play rounds
at Baltusrol. In the Middle At
lantic he lost to Champion Burnett
in the semifinals. He was a first
round victim of Otto Greiner in
the Maryland State.
Oddly enough, Brownell has com
peted in only two city championship
tournaments, won them both, the
first at the age of 17 over his home
course in a startling upset over
Roger Peacock, the second yester
day. College days at Duke and his
work in the FBI prevented him from
playing other years.
Bogart, beaten by Brownell in the
club championship at Chevy Chase
i the latter is a member there as well
as Manor) will get a third crack at
Bobby tomorrow morning at 10:30 in
a playoff for the District medal.
They tied at 72.

'Name' Golf Pros Trail
As Unheralded White
Hits 65 at Memphis
By tb# Associated Press
MEMPHIS. Term.. Sept. 20 —The
tight little coterie of "name" pro
fessionals who for years has had a
stranglehold on the pursestrings of
tournament golf has reason to feel
a bit uneasv today. There's evi
dence of considerable stirring among
tne "small type" boys below.
Last week in Nashville a com
parative newcomer to the spike
shoe circuit, wee Johnny Palmer of
Badin, N. C., humbled the shot
making elite for his first major
tournament triumph.
Today, as the $10,000 Memphis
Open goes into the second round,
the golfing gieats are trying to catch
up with a 35-year-old former Army
private, O'Neal < Buckshot i White of
Greenwood, Miss., who hasn't won
a penny this year.
White Gets 10 Birdies.
White blazed around the 6.566
yard Chickasaw course yesterday in
65 strokes. 7 under par. to step off
to a 3-shot opening-round lead.
The overseas veteran uncorked
some hair-raising putting in his
brilliant round of 34-31. He one
putted 10 greens, one from 15 feet,
and used only 28 strokes on the car
pets all day. He had 10 birdies.
National Open Champion Lloyd
Mangrum had a good chance to tie
him and could have done it with a
birdie 3 on the final hole. But Lloyd
wound up with a 6 that put him in
a three-way tie at 68 with Herman
Keiser. the Masters winner, and
young Glenn Teal, surprising new
comer from Miami. Fla.
Middleeoff Ties for Fifth.
Tied for fifth at 69 were Capt. Cary
Middleeoff, the fluid-swinging ama
teur. and lanky Tommy Wright of
Knoxville, Tenn.
Last year's winner. Freddie Haas,
jr.. came in with a 70 which placed
him in a tie with Sammy Snead.
British Open champion: big Vic
Ghezzie and George Payton of
Hampton. Va.
Only four other competitors—
making a total of 14—were able to
crack the course's par 36-36—72.
Knotted at 71 were Dick Metz. Ray

Golfers With Spare Clubs Come
To Aid of Fire-Hit Manorites
District golfers with spare sets of
sticks fast were coming to the rescue
of the 300 members of Manor Coun
try Club who lost their clubs in the
$35,000 midnight fire that leveled
the golf shop Wednesday.
Meanwhile. Pro Clagett Stevens,
biggest loser in the blaze, contacted
all major sporting goods companies
ind asked for help so that his club
members could finish the season
The firms promised immediate aid
but at best it will amount to only 20
or 25 sets of clubs w'ithin the next
two weeks.
At least eight members of the
Manor Club team that will meet
Kenwood in a second-round Mary
land State team match Sunday will
have to borrow clubs for the match.
The others had their clubs with
them while competing in the Dis
trict amateur championship. The
club championship probably will be
continued, but President W. L. Jones
said the field day scheduled October
! 5 had been canceled.
I Stevens said a majority of the
members were covered by golfers' in
surance. Stevens was a loser to the
extent of several thousand dollars,
including club storage and cleaning
revenue for several months, the
stock in his shop, four new sets of
clubs and miscellaneous articles. He
will set up a temporary shop in a
stone building near the tennis
! courts.
