And I believe that was on a wet 7200 yds wasn't it?
You are correct sir! The match had to be delayed early in the round due to a lightning storm. The course was almost unplayable. I believe it caused a two to three hour delay. Notice Hogans pants are rolled up at the bottom after the storm, along with some muddy black shoes. It looks like he is wearing "high-waters".

Gene Sarazen said Hogan's round was the finest round of golf he had seen in his lifetime. Hogan also noted that he couldn't hit it any better (before he gave Sam a little dig: "Im just sorry your ball didn't get a little closer to the hole or we would have had a better match"). Hogan practiced for months in preparation for the match. There was no way he was going to lose to Mr. Snead again, especially on national T.V.

Pure "Machine Feel".
