Davies wins pro-am
(NZ. Press Association! NELSON. An unattached Auckland professional, W. Davies, won his first professional tournament of any significance when he took the SIOOO Nelson pro-am golf tournament yesterday. He shot a two-under-par 69 to finish one shot ahead of the pre-tournament favourites, C. Owen and A. Palmer.
Davies was two under par after five holes, and four under after 12 holes, but dropped two shots on the homeward nine. A Christchurch professional, W. Logan, looked to have a good chance when he was two under after 12. but a tour of Nelson bunkers led to a 72.
The top amateur was J. Fellowes with a par 71.

Gray suffered injured stomach muscles early in the fight. Police bowls.— The national police bowling tournament will be held in Wellington tomorrow and Friday.
