“Chances Fair”
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) MEXICO CITY. “We rate our chances fair. After all, New Zealand was third last time, and we are all fit and well.” That was how R. C. Murray, of Otago, yesterday
summed up New Zealand's hopes in the Eisenhower Trophy world amateur team golf championship, which starts next week.
The New Zealand players— Murray, S. G. Jones, J. D. Durry and B. A. Stevens—have been catching up on lost sleep after arriving in Mexico late on Monday night. “I don’t think the altitude is going to affect us at all, but we are told the ball has more lift here than we would expect, and you hit it further,” said Murray. Today, 57 of the world’s leading women golfers from 19 countries will set out in quest of the Espirito Santo Trophy for the world women’s team championship. France, winners of the inaugural event in Paris two years ago, again has a very strong team to defend the trophy.
