Won Only One '58 Tourney Long Drives Little Help Too
Bayer NEW YORK AP: Spectators know George Bayer as a powerful long-driver from Washington who seldom wins driving contests and had never claimed a US pro tour victory until last December. The 6 5 240-pound giant, on tour since 1955, won the Sanford Open and has since been money in every event but far from a top spot, using exhibitions to earn about 30 thousand dollars yearly in 1956 1957. He overcame a driving slump after Canada Open 1957 by straightening his swing to win Havana International and Sanford Open. Fellow players like Vossler January and others boosted a 1958 season, with Vossler recovering from a 1956 cart accident and landing a strong 1959 start at Tia Juana.
