Mather, went along quietly for nine holes and amassed 17 stableford points; then he stormed home in 38 for the back nine for 27 points and a total of 44. Despite his fine score he still had to survive a count-back for his success in the B grade as G. Thurston also finished with 44 points after halves of 20 and 24 points. Among the A graders L. O'Connor turned in the best card of 39 points. Professional competitions resulted: — Saturday Nassau stableford: First nine, J. Stevens 22, L.
