Pairings sheet(Click image to enlarge it.) Pairings for the last round. Note that either Bob Rosburg or Art Wall was bumped from an earned position in the final group in order to make room for Sam Snead. The move probably spurred them on—each beat Snead by seven strokes. Bruce Kessler, Bethesda, Md., in the 10:52 starting time, is not listed in Golf World's rundown of final scores, at right.
