Snead dropped out after six holes of the final round when he was six over par.Many of the pros will find the layout strange, since the Greenbrier course has beendrastically altered and theLakeside expanded from nineto 18 holes in recent years. The Old White is unchangedexcept for the 16th hole which has been lengthened and the green moved to a new site across a creek.turning hack Teddy Danielsa n m * Shepherd at FairmontW VA ST VI F Ends Damn ...... e_i___Bailes.
