Bill Mclnnis sank a fifteen foot
birdie putt on the 36th hole of the
third Annual Dixie Conference
Tournament to insure the Confer-
ence title for the Knights and the
medalist title for himself.
St. Andrews placed first with a
832 total. Each day the best five
scores from each competing team
was tabulated. The lowest total
for thirty-six holes determined
the winner,
N. C, Wesleyan was second, se.
venteen strokes off the pace. In
third place with 852 strokes was
U.N.C, at Charlotte. Methodist
and Lynchburg colleges placed
fourth and fifth respectively.
Combining their talents in a
solid team effort. Coach Hoy’s
linksters found themselves three
strokes behind N. C. Wesleyan at
the end of the first eighteen holes.
At the end of twenty.seven
holes the boys thought they had
lost any chance they previously
had to win the title, Mclnnis had
shot the front nine in a horrid 46,
Bill Hubbard had a 45 and the
other scores weren’t much
better.
On the back nine Hubbard fi.
nished birdie, par, birdie for a
two over par. Mclnnis shot an
even par 36 also finishing bir
die, par, birdie. Athos Rostan
played the steadiest round of the
day, an (40-41) 81.
The long, treacherous eighteen
hole, Pinehurst No. 2, layout is
considered one of the toughest
courses in the country, by pros
and amateurs alike. Out of
bounds, huge, deadly sand traps,
high rough, and the length of the
course itself make Pinehurst No.
2 a real test of golf for anyone.
Rich Vanderbloemen had an 83
on the first round, but completed
the tournament with a troubled
but “easy 88.” Dave Seale im
proved his first round score of
88 with an 84,
On the first day only two play
ers broke 80, Mclnnis shooting
76 and Lee Ball of N. C, Wesle
yan firing a 78. Rush Shull of U,
N.C. at Charlotte was the only one
in a field of thirty-four golfers to
