...nations met in London to play for singles and doubles world championships as well as the Swaythling Cup and the Corbillon Cup (for women), Hungary had plenty of competition. The U. S., which had taken the Swaythling Cup last year, turned out to be not much of a bogey, but not so the Czechs. A pair of them; won the women's doubles, a team of Czechs took the Corbillon Cup, and a single Czech, Bohumil Vana, eliminated Viktor Barna, the great Hungarian paddler, in the semi-finals and Defending Champion Richard Bergmann of Austria in the final...

Needing only to come home in par to win by two strokes he now made it look as though he would lose again when he pushed his drive into the rough on the tenth, took a bogey 5, and three-putted the next green. But this time, with the gallery waiting for Guldahl's game to crack wide open, it did the opposite. So calm that he appeared preoccupied, he got birdies on the next two holes, played the remaining five in par despite ricocheting...
