Bobby Already Has Caused More Disturbance Than the Golden Tornado Last Fall
By ALAN J. GOULD
Del Monte, Calif., Aug. 31.-(A.P.)-America or England, New York or California--it's all the same to Bobby Jones.
The well known alumnus of Georgia Tech, seemingly bent upon causing more disturbance in the Golden west than the whole Tech eleven did last New Year's day on the gridiron, already has stolen the rehearsals for the national amateur golf championship. He seems destined to steal the main show that begins Monday.
The four-time American amateur king and three-time open champion brought his practice week to a climax yesterday on the Pebble Beach course with a scintillating 67, beating par by five strokes and his own course record by three shots.
In subduing the widely ballyhooed terrors of this famous course, Jones shot one of the greatest rounds of his career.
The coming of Jones, along with the first amateur title tournament ever held on the Pacific coast, has aroused greater interest than any previous sporting event in the golden state's history. The experts all admit this.
