Starting his last round after lunch, Sarazen, as far as anybody knew, was eight strokes ahead of the field. Jaunty and gay, he fingered the lucky necktie, decorated by a question mark, which his wife had given him. He had just reached the turn in 35 when a runner from the clubhouse brought him astounding news. Arthur Havers, who won the British Open in 1923 and is the only Englishman who has done it since 1920, had finished his third round in 68, a new course record, leaving him only four strokes behind.
