Lawson Wins West Texas Golf Tourney At Lubbock Country Club
Dave Lawson recovered from a dwindling three to four stroke lead as Rikki Massengale closed in with birdies and long putts. Lawson parried pressure with steady irons and a key eight-foot final putt to seal victory. The 40-year-old veteran, active in late 1940s to early 1950s circuits, plans no more tourneys until Odessa Pro-Am. Neighborhood stories highlight young talents John Farquhar and 15-year-old Charles Brownfield, with Jastrow bound for Houston on a golf scholarship.
