Patty Berg Wins Women's Open Tourney
RICHMOND, Calif. (A-P) Two golf records and top money of $750 belonged to smiling Patty Berg, winner of the Richmond Women's Open Tournament.
The former Minneapolis girl star, now a playing professional out of St Andrews, Ill., bagged the $3,000 event with a 54-hole total of 210 yesterday. It established a Ladies PGA tournament record for a three round event.
She also set a woman's world record for a single competitive round. Her spectacular 64 Saturday slashed eight strokes off men's par 72 for the 6,399-yard Richmond Country Club Course. Women's par is 73.
Popular Patty led all the way in spite of soaring to 74 Sunday. She finished with 72 for a four-stroke lead over second place Betty Jameson of San Antonio.
Miss Jameson's 73-69-73-214 also bettered the former Ladies PGA tournament mark for 54 holes. Beverly Hanson of Fargo, N. D., set the old record of 215 last year in winning the Eastern Open at Reading, Pa.
Second place earned Miss Jameson $540.
