...last week most golf authorities had been heard from on the subject of the new cups. Leo Diegel, Al Espinosa, John Dawson, John De Forest, playing in West Coast tournaments, liked the idea. U. S. G. A. officials thought Sarazen might have suggested it to keep his name in print...
...failed to hole easy putts, threw away his ball and then his putter. Swart, cocky little Gene Sarazen, 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.

Walter Hagen, Amateur Johnny Dawson, Aubrey Boomer (British pro from St. Cloud, France...
Burke went out in the third round. So did Diegel. In a driving rain Wiffy Cox got a 5-hole lead on George Von Elm before the match was postponed at the 18th. Next day the best Von Elm could do was to hold his own until the 31st, when Cox laid, him a stymie two inches from the cup. Von Elm used his niblick, missed, and Cox's par 5 won the match...
