Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Pinehurst, N. C. It is many months since the chilly and windy morning when Walter Hagen, then the American open golf champion, stood on the first tee at the seaside golf course at Deal, County Kent, England, set for the' hardest test of his golfing career. The cables brought back the news of his failure to finish among, the leaders, or even among the first twenty-five, but scores are not everytliing in golf, and a rehearsal of what happened in, the British open championship of 1920 may be of interest to golfers who have heard many and varied stories. It is true that Hagen failed to score well at Deal; although the small group of Americans who were present at the British open know that he did not earn the criticism which many of his rivals, as well as thousands of American golfers have heaped upon him. The former American champion is a great golfer and will be for years to come, and" he may yet have his day at the British open. Less than five minutes after he had com pleted his final round at Deal, Hagen, in conversation with the writer and another Ameiican newspaper- correspondent voiced his determination to return for British championships until he should make a creditable showing. Practically all comment upon Hagen 'a play at Deal has centered in the fact that he did not score well; that he was not only out of the money but completely out of the running. American golfers who have put the former champion on the griddle for these things have not taken into consideration a number of im portant incidents in connection with the championship. The thing that impressed me most at Deal was that Hagen did not quit. An open championship is competed at 72 holes, medal play. This means two rounds a day for two days. By the time the third round has been completed an excellent idea may be obtained of the golfers who stand in a position to win or to finish in the money. When Hagen had completed his third round it was ob vious to everybody that he could not do better than finish far down the list, worse than 25th place. Under these conditions there are plen ty of golfers Avho would have withdrawn from the tournament, gone into the club house and began to peddle their alibi. They would have considered it beneath the dignity of a champion to figure in (Continued on Page Ten)
