BIG MONEY GOLF
CHALLENGE MATCH AT SOUTHPORT (Rec. 11.35 a.m.) LONDON, Sept 17. At the end of 36 holes in a 72-hole four-ball challenge match being played on the Southport course, Dai Rees and Charles Ward lead Locke and Von Nida, 3 up. It is golf’s first big money match in England for many years, being for £5OO a-side. The match was all square at the ninth but Rees ran to 4 up at the eighteenth. With a run of “birdies,” von Nida and Locke had squared the match again at the twenty-seventh, but fine putting gave Rees and Ward a lead of 4 up at. the end of the day’s play. The golf was brilliant and the putting generally decided the issue at most of the 36 holes. Rees and Ward bagged 18 “birdies” and Locke and von Nida 15.
