Topping Leads Kerr In Final For The Title
Greenwich golfer Henry J. Topping led Amilton K. Kerr by one up in the 86 hole Connecticut Golf Association championship at Brooklawn as the morning 18 ended. Kerr won the first, third, and fourth holes to lead early, but Topping fought back with a sequence of halved and won holes, ending the session even at the 9th with momentum for the late 18. Topping faced a setback at the 10th when his drive into the brook briefly shifted the balance, then matched Kerr again at 12. Topping won 17 with a three to Kerr’s four, and Kerr erred on the 17th after a favorable drive by Topping, leaving the hopefuls still evenly poised for the concluding round.
