Navy Made Snead a Better Golfer Says Manager

The Hob Springs, Virginia star, 12 years after Navy service, heads the Phoenix Open as a top favorite for the $3,000 event. Snead led the warmup field with a 6 under par practice round, continuing his prewar reputation for explosive outbursts noted at the 1939 U S Open.
