What the 12,000 saw was something much rarer, one of those mystifying rounds which, built of luck, confidence and skill in exactly the right proportions, can make the game of golf appear to be a form of magic.

The match ended, for all practical purposes, on the first green where Wallace three-putted and lost the hole 5 to 4. After that he stumped bravely around the course...
