The final of the New South Wales amateur champion-
ship was placed yesterday at Botany. The day was
perfect for golf, being fairly calm. In the afternoon
a good crowd of spectators followed the finalists Messrs.
D. G. Soutar and R. Whytt. The result of the two
rounds was a pronounced victory for Mr Soutar, 12
up and 11 to play. In the morning the champion was
7 up, though he did not then show the form that he
exhibited in the afternoon, when at the seventh hole
he was 12 up and had the match won. Continuing in
excellent form he got to the seventeenth hole in 70, but
getting bunkered for the last he took seven, and thus
spoiled what would otherwise have been a brilliant
round. His figures were-Out 5, 5, 4, 2, 4, 3, 4, 5, 5-
37; home, 4, 3, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 7-40; total 77. The
performance comprised a remarkably fine exhibition of
every department of the game. Mr Whytt, the runner -
up for the championship, made a better fight against
a forlorn hope in the afternoon than in the morning,
his game, and all that Mr. Whytt could then do was
to halve the second and the seventh holes.
