BRINSDEN SUCCESSFUL ROTORUA CHAMPIONSHIP (Special to Times) ROTORUA, Friday The finals of the Rotorua Golf Club’s amateur open championship conclmded to-day with the following results:— OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP H. D. Brinsden (Tifirangl) beat W. Kusabs (Rotorua), JO and 8. THERMAL CUP H. G. Davies (Hastings) beat T. McElroy (Rotorua), 5 and 3. It is also doubtful if a more impressive display of accurate golf has ever been witnessed on the course than that given by Brinsden in the morning. Going out in this round he never once deviated from the straight and his approaching and putting were beyond reproach to give him the exceptionally fine figures of 33 at the turn, seven hole.s being done in bogey and the remaining two with birdies. The inexperienced Rotorua contender for the title seemed to be completely unnerved and on the outward journey in the morning his play was not a semblance of the excellent form which he had shown on the previous day. Although he had visited most of the bunkers on the course and was six down at the turn lie fought back gamely.
