Fore!

P: On England's rain-soaked Royal St. George's links last week, two men slashed through the finals of the British Amateur golf championship. Because of the rain and high winds, neither Britain's Charlie Stowe, a $28 a week mechanic, nor Toledo's playboyish Frank ("Muscles") Stranahan was staying abreast of par. But they stayed even with each other, with 795 on the first round. Then Stowe, completely unstarched, bowed to Stranahan 5-&-4. P: | At St. Louis, in the $30,000 Professional Golfers Association championship, cool Ben Hogan systematically went about chopping Mike Turnesa to pieces in the final. Hogan won 7-&-6, collected first prize ($3,500) and left for Fort Worth with a motorcycle escort sendoff. The way he felt about the P.G.A.: "You have to finish first or second to make it worth the effort and then you're dead for weeks afterwards."
