Oldtimers Still Have Golf Skill in Unequal Match
Kansas City AP Byron Nelson and Jag McSpaden, veterans of the 1940s, showed sharp shots in a west-ball match against Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer at Dub's Dread. Palmer and Nicklaus, leading money-winners, needed remarkable plays for a one-hole victory. Nelson and McSpaden, ages 60 and 38, respectively, carried a big 50-yard per hole head start but still faced a near 6,900-yard course in a marathon test.
