June 9. -fiU-BP— Craig Wood had a More back and won the national open golf champlotiwhlp. Samuel Jackson Snead a I*o had a *oro back and he alio won quite a victory. It wa* not a victory in the u*at meaning of the word — nobody banded Snead (1,OOP; no crowd gathered to pump hi* hand and a*k for hi* autograph; no one brought bale* of congratulatory telegram* and handed them to him. It wa* a quiet victory and one that wa* won at the coat of ctniHlderable physical pain, Snead flnlMhed In a tie for twelfth

place In the open. He played hla last two rounds In agony and was unable to stoop over to line up pulls or pick u ball out of the eup. He would have b*»-n fully just tiled In withdrawing from the tournament hut he went limping on around the fairways, giving hla best to every shot. Many persons have written and spoken harsh word* about Snead and I have been among them. We have said that he lacked courage, that he contracted the leaping jlltera when the big tournaments rolled around and that the man possesalng the Bneat natural awing in golf never would win a major event because the competitive spark jual wasn't there. After seeing what happened at the Colonial golf club this would be a nice lime for all of us to get together and tender Snead an apology. Herewith la mine. Everything was stacked against Snead here. Ilia back hurt painfully, but what hurt more was that the ghost of his past was haunting him from the walla and fences of the Colonial club. A magasine carried an article last week on the open and one of the itiuetradons showed Snead juat after he had taken hla disastrous eight on the Anal hole of the open at Philadelphia In 1938. That eight cost him the tournament and added to the legend that be had no heart. The picture showed Snead wearing au agonised espreaaion on hia face. Posters bearing the Illustration were placed atl around the coarse and It was Impossible for Snead to walk out of the locker room without being reminded of how he blew the beat hance he may ever have to win the open. In the face of that be waa up among the leaders at the half way point. On Saturday morning when the last two rounds started hla back became so painful that he couldn’t bend over and a fork of Ore shot through hla muscles every time he lifted hie arms to swing a club. Tbe crowd was all for him when he limped Into tbe 18th green at the end of the morning round and tried to bend over to line up a tough putt. It waa no use. Tbe pels was too much and hs had to hit tt without lining the bell and the pin. He bed e77 on tbet round and when be went Into the locker room many person* thought he either would soar in to the 80a tn ths afternoon round or withdraw. He did neither. Sneed ate a chicken sandwich while a doctor went to work on hla heck with bandages and adhesive tape. Occasionally Snead would get off tbe

"At No. II It fell like I pulled a muscle or something |(N>*e and after that the pain got worse." Ho he went out that afternoon, dipped four stroke* off hla morning round and came In with a creditable 73. Snead aald he play-d on through Ihe afternoon because he wanted to finish among the top 30 men and thereby be automatically qualified I tor next year’* open.
