EASY VICTORY
SARAZEN'S RECORD
ADELAIDE CENTENARY GOLF
ADELAIDE, September 13. Gene Sarazen, in winning the Centenary open golf championship yesterday with an aggregate of 283, equalled the Australian best score, for 72 holes on a championship course. G. Yon Nida and Fergus McMahon tied for second place, ten strokes behind Sarazen. ■ Sarazen broke the previous course record of 69 with a morning round of 68. Then in the last round he shattered the four rounds local record. His four rounds' were 74, 70, 68, arid 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 he was delighted with his form, as the Seaton course at the outset appeared difficult. He said he felt justified in saying his 283 is quite equal to Tony j Manero's 282 at Baldvistol when he' won this year's American open. Sara- 1 zen predicts a good future for Yon Nida, whose only lapses were on the greens. Miss Hicks did not play the final 36 holes, reserving herself for the comj ing big competitions.
