Australian-born Jin Ferrier, a 25-year touring veteran, laments lost prime earnings and recalls his 1947 PGA Championship win worth $4500 while comparing to Jack Nicklaus’s $13,000 today. At the Cleveland Open opening round, Al Geiberger led with 64, near Tony Lema and George Beyer, Palmer and Nicklaus off the pace as 63 of 139 broke par. The field narrows to 90 after two rounds as sub-par totals look necessary to contend.
