...Francis Ouimet: his first golf tournament since winning the U. S. Amateur at Chicago last summer; the Massachusetts Open, at Osterville; with 287, one stroke better than a crack field which included Bobby Cruickshank, Wiffy Cox, Johnny Farrell...
...back from winning the British Open with a record 283, started badly on his onetime home course, but he was only a stroke back of Perkins, tied with Jurado and Leo Diegel, with 220 after his third round. A stroke back of these three was terrier-like little Bobby Cruickshank, who tied Bobby Jones for the Open in 1923. He played the first nine holes of his third round in an amazing 32, finished with...

When he missed his putt for a 4 on the long 16th Sarazen, unlike Bobby Cruickshank, smiled. He needed only two more pars for a 66. Sixty-six would be a record round for a U. S. Open. It would give him a winning total of 286 and tie Chick Evans' U. S. Open record made at Minikahda...
