Drake, who defeated Harold Black, one up, over 36 holes. Drake was five up at the ninth, but Black regained three holes in the latter half of the morning round, which Drake completed in 71, while Black took 73. In the afternoon round, Drake was one up at the turn, but Black squared the game at the thirty-fifth. At the thirty-sixth Drake holed an eight foot putt, and Black had an eighteen inch putt for a half, but to everybody’s amazement he missed, the ball being deflected from the hole by a tuft of clover.
