Crampton Leads, Casper Falters at 500 Open Golf Showdown
Bruce Crampton shot a four under 68 to lead the Indianapolis 500 Open by two strokes after the first round. Billy Casper, seeking a fourth win this year, shares second after a 70 marred by a self-imposed two stroke penalty on the 12th hole when a clubman distraction altered Casper’s shot. The 7179-yard course proved demanding as only 15 beat par and 11 matched it, with the low 60s and ties advancing to the final 36 holes.
