by Biff Rc&eris .
OLD TOWN COUNTRY CLUB, WINSTON-SALEM, N. C, May
17 Thundering Tommy Langley Steadied a pair of par 71's to take
the "Southern Conference individual golf championship held her
yesterday and today and then teamed with Bill Williamson, Bill
Thornton, and Bob Black to give Carolina the team championship,
its first since 1947. ;
Resting in second position, four strokes behind the unheral-
ed front-running Pete Parker, also
of Carolina, after yesterday's
opening round, Langley played
steady par golf to cache the title.
When Parker, who had a 67
yesterday, . faltered on today's
final nine, Langley took over the
lead and dared the field to catch
him. And nobody did.
The best anybody could do was
to creep within one stroke of him,
and three of the tournament's big
dogs did that. With Langley's 142
already posted, Dick Tiddy of
of Wake Forest had first crack
at winning. He had a 72 the first
day and a 71 today, but that still
left him one short of the'lead.
- Edens Fails
; Another Wake Forest golfer,
little Frank Edens tried, too, but
his second straight 72 put him out
of it. Then N.C. State Maurice
Brackett made a go of.it and he
fell short by one with 72-71143.
But the biggest threat was still
out on the course. .Charlie Smith
of The Citadel, who won the
South Carolina collegiate title on
Thursday, had turned even with
Langley after 27 holes and had
edged ahead of him by one stroke
after the 11th hole today. But
with a chance to tie for the title
by birdying the not-too-hard 18th
hold, Smith had to settle for a
par and a tie for second place.
Parker's case was one that
would make the worst of duffers
feel good. Going into today's
round with a four stroke lead on
the field, Parker,, looked like a
sure bet when he finished the first
nine in one-over-par 36. That put
him three strokes up on Langley.
Team Phenomenal
But then he skied. A shot into
the lake on number 15, then later
another in the creek, and still an
other in the woods made him soar
to an inflated 43 on the back side
and knocked any hopes he had
for the title completely out of
bounds.
The Carolina team was even
more phenomenal than Langley.
After being tied with Wake For
est after yesterday's 18 holes,
Langley, Williamson, Thornton,
and Black combined to beat the
same Deacons by seven strokes.
In addition to Langley's 142,
Williamson had a 75-72 147,
Thornton had a 75-73 148, and
Black came through with 78-71
149 to give Carolina a total of
586 for first place.
Wake Forest was second with
593; N.C. State and The Citadel
tied at 599; Duke came in with
602, and Davidson finished with
609. ' i
