Svensk Golf Sida 28 National Golf Club, unmoving,
expression- less, not drinking or eating or saying much. Just sitting there like a ball player in a hotel lobby. »Get a load of laughing boy Keiser», somebody said. »And hey, look who's talk- ing to him. That a picture, eh?» It was Craig Wood talking to him and it was indeed a picture. For here was Herman Keiser, who looks like a Missouri mortician, sweating out the time between his finish in the Masters golf tournament and the mo- ment when they'd say his score was good enough to win. And there, talking quietly to him, was the guy who'd done the same thing in the same place eleven years ago. Exactly eleven years ago Wood sat in this club with a score of 282 on the board — ex- actly the score Keiser had tonight — and the mob was thumping his back and buying wine and shouting: »Boy, O Boy! What a wedding anniversary for you, Craig, old pal!» And then just when the committee was ready to draw him a check for the first prize, Gene Sarzen shot a double-eagle 2 on the fifteenth hole and came home tied for first and next day Gene won in a play-off. Maybe they both remembered that as they talked, although Keiser hadn't been round in those days. At any rate they could hear the crowd cheering for Ben Hogan as he came ripping home with his sights set on that first prize of $ 2 500. Every cheer meant that Hogan was one stroke closer. When he was on the seventeenth green Keiser heard that Hogan playing behind him was three under par. Which meant they were tied and due for a play-off to mor- row. As he sat there in the club he was told Hogan needed a par — 4 to preserve the tie.

Ten thou- sand people paid $ 5 apiece today expect- ing to see him chewed up like a sad-faced Christian flung among lions. But they didn't see him blew up. They caught, for their fivespot, occasional glimp- ses of a guy who approached and shot with sad detachment, like an undertaker approaching a job he didn't particularly fancy. He is the walkingest and waitingest and studyingest guy that ever won a major competition. He hits a shot and then he ambles down and stares with distaste at his lie and then he walks over some near-by hill and stands gazing unhappily at the flag. Then he comes back, glares at the ball again, lifts a club from the bag and takes a few practicc swings. At last he stands over the ball and shifts his feet and waggles his hips and brandishes his club threateningly, and at long length he hits his shot. When he gets on the green he slows up. He walks from the ball to the pin. Then he walks from the pin to the ball. Then he gets behind the ball and squats and studies the line. Then he takes his putter 26
