7Ki PINEHURST OUTLOOK) VOL. XXIV. NO. 5 JANUARY 5, 1921 10 CENTS A. L. WALKER, JR. WINS MID-WINTER TOURNAMENT Defeats J. D. Chapman in Final Round By Robert E. Harlow Golfers could not have had better weather than prevailed for the annual mid-winter golf tournament. Some of the days while it was in progress were as mild and pleasant as fine spring days in the North. The excellent weather con ditions put plenty of enthusiasm into the players and there were many interesting matches. A. L. Walker, Jr., of the Kichmond Country Club, the favorite in the field of 106 starters, was up to expectations and won the event for the third consecutive year, taking away as the prize an at tractive silver tea set. Only once dur ing the progress of the tournament was Walker in serious danger of being beaten. This was in the first round, when he won by one up from C. F. Watson Jr., after being three down at one stage of the journey. Walker defeated J. D. Chapman of the Greenwich Country Club in the final round by a two and one score. While Walker hit the longest ball off the tees, it was his accurate putting that won for him. Walker sank some long putts which were most effective and halved holes which appeared to be safely tucked away by the Greenwich player. Walker and Chapman halved the first four holes and Walker won the fifth, four to five, when Chapman pushed a short putt off the line to the. cup. They halved the short sixth hole in five. An important break came at the long seventh hole. Chapman sank his ball from off the green for a four, leaving Walker with a 15-foot putt for a half. The Eichmond County player got it. At the eighth, Walker sank an eight-foot putt to halve in three. The ninth was halved in threes, leaving Walker one up at the turn. Chapman squared the match at the tenth when he putt his third dead, and. Walker's third overran the cup by eight feet and he missed the putt. Chapman lost the 11th and 12th holes, being in traps at the eleventh and topping his tee shot to the 12th. Chapman got one of the holes back at the 13th when Walker took three putts, but Walker became two up again at the 14th, where he hit two fine shots just beyond the green and got a par four to Chapman 's five. The Greenwich player was short in three. The 15th was halved in three and Chapman won the 16th Avith a par four, " ".a, V f ,' !' I ",y. - . : . ; I , I i - "'' - ,",'. V.

Dunlap, Jr., of Summit, N. J., who has just celebrated his twelfth birthday, won double honors in the Boys' Golf Tournament conducted last week on the Number 3 course, tying Lawrence Dow in the medal qualifying round and winning the final round in the first division of match play. Young Dunlap won the play-off of the tie. The tourna ment was a big success, the boys en joyed the opportunity for competition and the event will undoubtedly grow into a large affair for youngsters and attract many entries in future events. George took 52 in the nine-hole quali fying round, the same number of strokes as young Dow. In one of his match play rounds, young Dunlap scored a 46 which was quite the bet round of the tournament and exceptionally fine juve nile golf. Forbes Wilson, son of Willie Wilson, and one of the youngest starters in the tournament, scored two fives at the 443-yard eighth hole, which was one of the outstanding features of the tournament. Young Wilson was the winner of the second flight and Buddy North won the third division trophy. Buddy's ac complishment in winning the third divi sion final was very commendable, as he did not have his game in good control for the qualifying round but came back strong to win from two opponents in the match play. In the Girls' section of the tournament Miss Margaret Fuller won the qualify ing round very comfortably with a score 66 for the 9 holes, but succumbed to Miss Algene Edson in the final round of match play.
