The real winner in the party fracas: New York County's Tammany Hall Boss Carmine De Sapio, after a polished display of professional power politics.

A gritty perfectionist of the Hogan stripe, he practices endless hours to correct his flaws. The first time that he finished out of the money, Ken went back to his hotel, practice-putted in his room for four hours, came back with twelve straight rounds under 69, won two tournaments.
