Good News For Lister
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON.
Good news awaited J. Lister, New Zealand’s new golfing star, when he arrived to prepare for the Long John £lO,OOO professional matchplay golf championship at Moor Park, Hertfordshire, on Wednesday. He was told he had been excused competing in the 18 holes pre-qualifying event, beginning yesterday, and having been invited by the sponsors, gained automatic entry into the more important match-play stages. The tall, slim, 23-year-old Lister—almost unknown in Britain three years ago when he first turned professional—has been prominent recently, earning about £2500 in successive weeks by winning the Piccadilly Medal and Gallacher tournaments.
