Then in the last round he shattered the four rounds local record. His four rounds were 74, 70, 68 and 71. par for the course being 73. There was a monotonous brilliance about his golf, his short game and his putting being superb. Sarazen himself confessed that be was delighted with his form, as the Seaton course at tlie outset appeared difficult. He said he felt justified in saying his 283 is quite equal to Tony Manero’s 282 at Baldvistol when lie won this year’s American open.
