...Paul was the Professional Golfers' Association championship, hardest match-play tournament in the world to win, for which British & U. S. Open Champion Gene Sarazen failed to qualify three weeks ago. Ponderous Olin Dutra who looks like Jack Dempsey and handles his putter like an elephant with a teaspoon, won the medal with 140.

Hagen had blown up in the morning. Dutra had taken an 8 at the 15th. Jurado, Diegel and Cox had finished with higher scores than his. But Cruickshank and Sarazen were still out on the course. Cruickshank reached the turn in 33 and Sarazen in 32. Cruickshank needed a 68 for the round to tie and Sarazen needed 69. They were playing against the worst hazard...
