...band of U. S. marauders crossed the Canadian border. At a given signal, the wooded hills and dales of the Lambton Country Club (Toronto, Ont.) rang with shots. Staunch Canadian pars dropped on all sides. In the first nine-hole skirmish of the Dominion open championship, defending Champion Leo Diegel (of Great Neck, L. I.) so ventilated his scorecard that it totaled but 32 shots. A 37 in and he tied the course record, led the field. Brazen-faced Walter Hagen, chin higher than ever, touched off a spoon shot at the treacherous 250-yard 18th, holed a 2, stood...
Each had stroked his ball 291 times in the four orthodox rounds of the national open championship played at Worcester, Mass.; had been congratulated on a gallant tie for first place by the men they had beaten-sleek Walter Hagen, grinning Gene Sarazen, slangy Leo Diegel, trim Johnny Farrell, husky Willie Mehlhorn, tired, chagrined, heartsick Cyril Walker, the deposed champion, to whom the title had brought little joy in the year he had held it. Now they were playing an extra 18 holes to decide it-Thin Legs Willie Macfarlane, Oak Ridge professional (Tuckahoe, N. Y.), and Fat Legs Robert...

...Tampa, James Barnes, Walter Hagen, John Farrell, Robert Cruikshank, Edward Loos, Gene Sarazen, Joseph Kirkwocd and many another famed professional golfer competed in the Florida Open Championship. Among them Leo Diegel, Washingtonian and Champion of Canada, drove, chipped, putted. On the first two rounds, his performance was competent: his third round, though not brilliant, brought him within one stroke of the leader- Barnes. The golfers set out on the fourth round, attended by a great gallery which often cheered the. admirable shots of Diegel as those of a player who was making a gallant and unlikely attempt at last-round...
...golfers were not barred from the Canadian Open at Mount Bruno, Que., three days later. Galleries flocked after slouching Leo Diegel of Washington, D. C., and Gene Sarazen, "grinning runt" of Briarcliff, N. Y. Leo ticked off a 285 for the title, Gene 287 for second. Other Americans in the annual border raid: W. Macfarlane, Tuckahoe, N. Y., 288; J. Farrell, Mamaroneck, N. Y., 291; W. E. Melhorn, St. Louis, 293; Clarence P. Hackney, Atlantic City, (1923 winner), 295. Ablest Canadian: A. Kay Lambton, of Toronto, seventh with...
