International
Open Event
DALLAS, Tex. (UP) - Stocky
Peter Thomson, the Australian
who has his eyes on a third
straight Briish Open crown, won
the $70,000 Texas International ti-
tle Monday because he was the
only one of the contenders able
to master Preston Hollow's No. 2
“graveyard hole."
The imperturbable, 26-year old
Melbourne native defeated Gene
Littler of Singing Hills, Calif., and
Cary Middlecoff of Dallas in the
second hole o' a sudden death
playoff after all three tied wi h
13-under-par 267s after the regula-
tion 72 hples.
Out of the four rounds of golf
played i this rich tournament,
Thomson was the only one, of the
top six f ini hers who was able to-
play the pir four hole in even
night. Clubs include the Bren-
ham Cotton Mill, Prairie Hill
