Tony Evans, professional from Fort Jackson, S. C. who won the recent Blue Ridge Pro Ara was one of the first round leaders in the Carolinas Open at Aiken last week but faded badly the final two rounds and finished in a tie for 11th. Har old "Catfish" Kneece played fine golf with rounds of 67-71 68 for a total of 206 to win handily over Ranuy Glover by four shots. Both boys are regu lar touring players. Kneece pulled one really remarkable feat by not three putting once during the three rounds on greens that are larger than the ones in Boone. My play during the Open left a lot to be desired although most of my strokes were lost on and around the greens. I hit the ball well enough but couldn't get it into the hole. My score of 69 during the pro am was second only to the 68 shot by Tom Case but my part ners were having an off day and our score of 64 was only good for a tie for twelth, still not too bad, out of a field of fifty-seven teams.
