Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, R: (NY18-Aug.10)WORSHAM'S $15,000 'APPROACH'--Here's Paramount News' record \ of the fantastic 140-yard approach shot made by Lew Worsham to win his \ the "World" golf title and $25,000 in the Tam O'Shanter golf tournament \ at Chicago yesterday. At left, Worsham swings for his approach shot. \ Ball bounces on green, center, and plops into the cup, right. The shot \ meant the difference between first and second place for Worsham and \ $25,000 first prize instead of $10,000 second prize. The title seemed in \ the bag for Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va., until Worsham made this \ amazing "approach."(APWirephoto from Paramount News)gww22314)1953
