Snead Tops Crowd In Canada Open Pursuit

In Montreal the Canadian Open reaches the third round as Sam Snead and Roberto De Vicenzo, veterans with hundreds of wins between them, attempt to hold off two young challengers in the $125,000 event. Snead, at 7 years and 131 victories, carded a four under par 68 to finish 135, one stroke ahead of De Vicenzo who, at 46, says his counting is off but a 140 total would not surprise. The two elder statesmen face two upstarts seeking their first tour win and the $25,000 prize.
