Roberts, the New Zealand team manager, partnered by Alex Russell, the former Australian open champion, was well back in the field with rounds of 84 and 85. Rain spoilt the afternoon rounds when Siik and Glading returned 74. This equalled the best round in the afternoon. FERRIER IN FORM Jim Ferrier, overwhelmed the Australian open champion, H. Pickworth, ten and nine, on the Huntingdale Club’s course in their second 72-hole challenge match. Pickworth won the first match last week on the 73rd hole. Despite- a brilliant recovery when he reached the turn in three under par, Pickworth failed to overhaul Ferrier’s long lead. Ferrier did the next nine holes in five under par, and then went further ahead in pouring rain. N.Z. LADIES’ CHAMPIONSHIPS PALMERSTON NORTH, Oct. 10.
