PINEHURST OUTLOOK) VOL. XXV. MARCH 9, 1922 NO. 13 YATES LEADS BIG FIELD IN QUALIFYING ROUND Of Spring Tournament It was a long, long trail of golfers that struggled over the Championship and Number 3 courses on Monday and Wednesday of this week, when 333 aspi rants teed off in the 36-hole qualifying round of the annual Spring tournament at Pinehurst. This is one of the most popular tournaments on the Club 's sched ule and always draAvs a record field. Fif teen divisions of sixteen players each will continue at match-play through Sat urday. Qualifying days were ideal for golf. The weather was the sort that made it possible for the players to get all the kinks out of their arms in the first few swings and settle clown to their best game. The field has any number of first-class golfers and competition in all divisions will be keen. It remained for Arthur Yates of the Oak Hill Club of Rochester, to win the medal. Yates carried off the gold prize in the qualifying round' of the St. Val entine's tournament, after a play-off with J. D. Chapman of Greenwich, and in the Spring event he had a margin of two shots over the big 'field. A. L. Walker, Jr., of the Richmond County Club, finished second, and B. Warren Corkran of Baltimore, was third. Yates ran into the lead when he did a grand 35-35 70 on the number 2 course, after an indifferent 81 on the Number 3 course on Monday. Yates is a capable golfer when he is at his best, and if he can keep going he will be hard to beat in the match-play rounds. His qualifying total was 151. "Walker was 153, and Corkran, 155. The tournament was remarkable for the fact that although there were 333 starters on Monday, the scores which qualified in the first division varied from the winning 151, to 171, a difference of 20 shots, whereas those who qualified in some of the higher divisions were sepa rated by not more than two strokes, the seventh sixteen being composed entirely of golfers who expended either 197 or 198 strokes for the 36-hole test. Corkran, Yates and Walker, rule the favorites in match play. B. P. Merri Jnan of Waterbury, North and South am ateur champion, qualified with a 165, but jie only recently recovered from an ill ness and is not able to play within a number of shots of his best game. Frank Blossom, former Yale golfer, from the Indian Hill Club of Chicago, qualified in the first division and is considered dangerous. V ft' 1 . Q i I Y . T tl.- 'J-M I 1 ; H -- .ill B. C.
