Easterbrook's ball was replaced but left Padwick "in the deadest of dead stymies."
Padwick, however, "hit his ball so wide of Easterbrook's that the whole gallery must have thought he was contenting himself with a safe half.
His ball, after passing the obstruction, took a sudden curl in the desired direction and dropped into the hole for a win".
