TURNESA DEFEATS JOLLY AT MOORTOWN

A DING-DONG FIGHT (Australian and X.Z. Press Association) , (United Servicej LONDON, Saturday. In the 1,000 guineas tournament at Moortown, Leeds, in the final round or match play J. Turnesa (America) efeated H. C. Jolly (Foxgrove) at the «>7th hole. Jolly tor the fourth time was in the final of the 1,000 guineas. Jolly was f U l‘ at th e end of the first round, t up on the 27th hole, and dormy 1. se>L n >. Sa . squared tile match at the , “ole, and won the next hole by holing from the edge of the green for a birdie 3. It was a ding-dong fight through - a i.i " J th golf of a high standard. Although tho Englishman holed rnanv fine putts, it was in this department 1 . the American showed hi.; superiority, especially when fighting against Jolly's leads. As an instance, i urnesa played with a niblick and holed a dead stymie. At the Bth hole !“ e hall went down from Svds. At tho Jith Turnesa had to sink his ball to avoid defeat. Jolly s most fatal error was missing a one toot putt at the 34th hole, when he was in the comfortable position of - up. Probably this rattled him enough to allow Turnesa to square the match by taking the 35tli and 36th holes. Jho Observer*’ critic says it must be admitted that there is something w-rong with British golf, compared ull . American. He attributes the superiority of the Americans chiefly to their constant endeavour on all occasions at* beat par figures, ignoring: the opponent altogether, in match play, concentration on putting, approach putting, the adoption of a slow, rhythmic, not hurried, swing, in every type of shot.
