Veteran Golfers Fire 71s Show on heat soaked day
Tulsa report notes Dick Metz leading after a second round with a 71 as Tommy Bolt and Julius Boros share the early lead. The heat and wind at Southern Hills produced frequent errors and par was rare with five under par rounds not common on the opening day. Metz, 50, fresh off a rough 79 at the last Open, remains in front, while other stars struggled to reach par. Gene Sarazen called the day harrowing and heartbreaking as veterans recall Open trials dating to 1877 Oakmont.
