WONDERFUL GOLF SENDS HAGEN AHEAD Pro-Star 1 Takes Lead Away From Sarazen With Score of 66. HARRY COOPER IS THIRD Sets New Course Record for Highland. * By Dick Miller. Walter Hagen, famous golf professional, is just getting warmed up. After a slow start in the Western Open golf tourney, which began Thursday at Highland Golf and Country Club, "The Hague’' tied the course record on Friday with a 68, and today took the lead away from Sarazen with a brilliant 66. It would have been anew course record a few minutes earlier, but Harry Cooper of Kansas City beat Walter to the honor wi ;h the first 6C of the day. Hagen, after fifty-four holes of play, was leading Sarazen in second place by four strokes. Hagen’s score was 209 and Gene's, 213. Cooper by his great round this morning went into third place, with a 215 total. Jock Hutchison of Chicago, after being in a tie with Sarazen and Hagen at the end of the first nine of the morning round, faltered on the trip home and took a 39 for a 74. His total of 217 put him in fourth place with most of the scores in. P. O. Hart, darkhArse from Marietta, Ohio, who stayed in second place during the first two days of the met, dropped to fifth after the morning round today. He took a 76 and his 64-hole total was 218. At the end of the first eighteen today MacDonald Smith's total for the three rounds was 219, which practically eliminated him from consideration as this year’s winner. A1 Watrous, Grand Rapids, Mich., pro, shot a 69 in the same twosome with Smith. On Walter Hagen's sensational round he had a chance for a 65 if he had holed an eighteen-foot putt, but the putt was about six inches short. •Hagen's card—- ?„ ut 445 344 434—35 Coders'oirf--’ 434 443 Out 345 244 533—33 f>2 442 334—.33—66 Scores for first 18-hole reund today and total for three rounds (including Thursday and Friday): Douglas Casev.
