Most of the ovation A for a golfer who finished way down the line. But he did finish - that was the unexpected part of it. Gene Sarazen - the fifty-six year old veteran - who won the British open twenty-six years ago. This year, Gene said he was lucky to get into the finals - at St. Ann's - on-the-Sea, 1n England. Day after day, he had played 1n the rain. The British open - 11D drenched with a continuous downpour. Today, the venerable golfing Squire from Germantown, New York, said he didn't think his aging legs would carry him - through the rainy final rour('d. But he did mighty well, considering•- shooting one over par. A gallery of seven hundred, with umbrellas followed him - and gave him a rousing cheer, when he finished. Oh yes, the winner?
