Art The ‘Pro’ Killer

It is an extraordinary thing. in any golf tournament. for an amateur player to beat a field of professionals. You might say it is one of those things that isn't supposed to happen, gell- t-.-...._ speaklllg, .he pros are the best of me lot and their game is snerper because tlley spend a title more time at ll. than the play-for-fun tyues.

Lut, .~.0l'llL‘l.0W. Art MacKenzie has never subscribed to this line of thnlkillg. The likable Charlottetown amateur has made the top play-for-pay figures in the M'arl‘-unes take a back seat on two c-ccasions in the past three years by winning the biz P.E.l. Open in 1960 and again last weekend. The 5-foot, 10-inch. I71)-pound redhead, by the way, is the only amateur to win the Opel; in its nine year history. .

Two years ago, MacKenzie shattered the record for the tournament and won it by a wopping six-stroke margin over Cec Dowling with rounds of 73, 72. and 70 for a 215 total - one undcl par. Dowling took top money in the on) section that year with 221, three strokes ahead of Errol Nicholson, who tied with amateur Bill Beer, his brother-in-law, at 224.

This year. the redhead won it ‘n Saturday's first round with a sparkling 70 while some 225 others ill the hunt for top honors battled the wind and lightning-fast greens in figures above par. like .)ook Munroe‘s 81. Mousie Dowling’s 87, and 74’s by pros Ccc Dcwling and Ian Jackson.

Art's 70 in the first round included three birdies - on holes 5.6 and 18, and a bogey on No. 4, .1 tough, uphill par-4 test which defied him again in Sunday’s round when he three-putted fol another bogey. He canned a 25-foot putt on the 5th for his first birdie Saturday, “and that". said MacKenzle, “was' the only good putt I made in the whole tournament. Those greens werc really fast, and they were as strange to the local fellows as they were to visitors.

Be follrwed his birdie on No. 5 with another on the short. per-A .=ix‘h hole with a short putt to go one under par. then reeled off 11 straight pars until the 1819). s pa.r four, when he dullkrd a chip after landing back of the green with his second shot

‘On Sunday, I couldn‘t buy a birdie". the new champ re- Ca‘l(.‘( “They cut the greens again Saturday night. an th_,v were just as fast, if not faster on Su.l:lay". His 76 in the sec- ond round had four bogeys.

Headaches For ’R.J.'

One of the surprises in the tournament, which was almost too successful for director Reg Mahar, in that the entry list (around 230) proved too much to handle, was the decline of sonic. of the leading amateurs in the field who figured to be in the thick of the battle for top honors.

Harry Simmonds was 10 strokes back of MacI{enzie, Bill Beer trailed by 13. Had Maclnnis and Don MacDonald were 15 away, and Jack Beaton was 16 off the pace. But a couple of other boys.VMerlin MacKenzie and Gerald Burgoyne. check- ed in with creditable 152 scores.

There was a real race in the pro section for shares of the $500 purse. I-an Jackson, 24-year-old Shelburne pro, scored his first major triumph as he nipped Bubby Dowling, the pl tournament favorite, by a single stroke. and Errol Nicholson and Jim Maxwell were just two blows back of the “little pro" from Charlottetown at 152. George Arnold, assistant pro ' Belvedere, trailed Nicholson and Maxwell by one. and George Andrew, now at Summerside, was one stroke bhind Arnold.
