...32nd green. Young Billy Howell and Don Moe, whose 67 at Sandwich in 1920 made a Walker Cup record, had lost five holes out of nine to their 22-year-old opponents, Eric McRuvie and Eric Fiddian, but not until they were 7 up.

Dour little Bobby Cruickshank played so badly against Al Watrous of Detroit that he was 9 down on the 24th green. Watrous felt sorry for him and conceded a hard six-foot putt for a half. Bobby Cruickshank plays his best golf when he is angry; sympathy makes him furious. He won nine of the next eleven holes, clinched the match on the 41st green by pitching a niblick shot dead and dropping the putt for a 4 while Watrous, on the green in 2, took...

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...

Even Perkins by this time was ready to stop waiting in the locker-room. He joined the crowd that was waiting at the 18th green to watch Sarazen play his 286th shot, an 8-ft. putt. It was a noisy crowd, impatient to cheer Sarazen for equaling Bobby Jones's unique feat of winning the British and U. S. Opens in the same year. The crowd swarmed over the traps, over the edge of the green, past the course marshals until there was only a tight 20-ft. circle around Sarazen and his ball. Perkins tried to look over...
