Hope, with 299, heads the amateurs. •Sarazen's win is the ninth successive American victory. fl'o played 108 holes at an average of 'four, and never exceeded five. lie beat Bobby Jones' record of 285. Tiie newspapers consider that neither Jones nor Hagen could have exceeded Sarazen's brilliance and consistence. He was so far ahead of the field that news of Havers' record round of 6S in the morning came as a, pleasing incentive to further efforts, but Havers dropped irrecoverable strokes earlv in the afternoon, necessitating- the almost impossible task of coming home in 32.
