INTERNATIONAL TEST BRITAIN BEATS AUSTRALIA. VISITORS WIN FOURSOMES. Received Oct. 29 10.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Oct. 29. Britain defeated Australia in the first golf Test uy four matches to two. Today’s foursomes resulted: — Scott and Garnett defeated McKay and Ferrier 7 and 5. Mac Lean and Bourn defeated Apperly and Ryan 6 and 5. Scott and Garnett played faultless golf in the morning round to lead 5 up. length from the tees, supplemented by Scott’s excellent short game, made then an ideal combination. Whenever Garnett pushed his drives into the rough Scott recovered brilliantly. Both putted well. The ninth hole (460 yards, par 5) is a good indication of their play. Garnett drove about 270 yards and Scott’s approach finished eight feet from the pin. Garnett sank the putt for an eagle, the pair averaging fours when the match finished. Mac Lean was again in great form, but his partner, Bourn, was all astray, slicing badly. The Britishers were two down at lunch, entirely due to Bourn’s bad play, Apperly and Ryan playingonly a steady game. Bourn showed a reversal of form in the afternoon and with Mac Lean continuing his good golf the Britishers took six of the first eight holes, eventually winning easily. The Australians after lunch played very badly, being seldom on the fairway and frequently taking three putts.
