...needed only a 38 on the last nine holes to win. Knowledge of his apparently impregnable position made him nervous. He had a six at the twelfth, a five on the fifteenth. Needing three par-fours now for a tie, he dubbed a twelve-inch putt on the sixteenth, took a five instead of a four. This blunder, which would have destroyed the poise of most golfers, appeared to invigorate Von Elm. He played the seventeenth in four, put a mashie shot 15 feet wide of the pin on the eighteenth green and sank the putt, almost angrily...
...brook, his third was trapped, and he took a six for the hole. On the long 18th he still had a chance to tie, if his second was on the green, or if he played his second short, got a good chip shot and sank his first putt. Jurado was cautious again.

S., John De Forest was shown how to putt by Stewart Maiden, Bobby Jones's teacher, but it did not seem to do him much good last week. At the end of 18 holes, Martin-Smith sent a telegram to the captain of the Cambridge golf team saying he was two up. At the 22nd he was four...
