GOLF’S HARD HITTERS PLAY NECK-AND-NECK
SLOAN MORPETH BEATEN
HATTERSLEY’S BRILLIANCE
United 8.A.-—By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 10.45 a.m. MELBOURNE, Today.
In the golf championship yesterday main interest centred in the amateur match between Sloan Morpeth and Hattersley, the 22-year-okl Sydney player. The later trailed the ex-New Zealander all day, and the first time he got in front was when he ran down a 23-foot putt for a birdie two at the final hole, to win the match. In the morning Morpeth putted brilliantly, and mainly owing to that had great figures, going out in 34, to be three up at the end of the round. Hattersley got even at the 27th hole, when he holed a long putt.
At the 32nd hole a sensational smite by Hattersley sent the ball 300yds from the tee, and landed on the edge of a bunker. He chipped out beautifully, and holed a 23-footer. The following four holes were desperately fought for and halved. In the two extra holes Morpeth recovered brilliantly, but Hattersley’s long putt decided the match. Hattersley is the biggest hitter in the game in Australia today.
