The only player in front of Hogan at the halfway point of the tournament—the war-year successor to the National open—was Mike the swarthy Elmsford, N. Y.,, member of golf's clan of par- | busting brothers. Although not as hot as Hogan yesterday, “Mechanical Mike” added a six under par round of 66 to his 65 of the initial round for a 36hole mark of 131. Hogan had eight birdies and one eagle on his card and never once slipped over par. He was out in 30 and back in 32.
Recovers Putting Touch
Turnesa started with a bogey five when he three-putted from the edge of the green. He regained his stride by bagging birdie threes on the second and third holes, and four more birdies rounded out his card of 32-3466. Hogan's superb score was abt-| tributed directly to recovery of his putting touch. Ben had 11 one- -putt | greens on his round and he canned | them for distances ranging gid
