There is a great recollection by George Archer in the book "I Remember Ben Hogan" regarding the time the 3 of them were together at the Masters...I think that 'smoking' picture is from that round. And, yes, there was no love lost between those two!
British Open 1953 Hogan Walking To 18th AT CARNOUSTIE.....AMAZING TO ME........HE PLAYS IN 1 BRITISH AND WINS IT.....
Enjoy

And at the same time not surprising at all.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
