		Ken attempted on his approach to cut beneath the cone and then contact the ball, but the shot failed to come off and the ball plopped into a trap before the green.
		Since Venturi goes about his business with the assured deliberateness of a grizzled relief pitcher, it was rather in character that his surge commenced with a fine bit of judgment: on the 13th, with the pin set in the far right-hand corner, he chose to play his second shot short of the creek.
		Ken was drafted in 1954 and assigned to Fort Ord, where commanding general, a golf enthusiast who had just built a course at the fort, saw that he got time for practice.
