Bobby Jones

Bob Jones took two 7s on his final round and had to hole a 12-foot putt on the last green to tie Al Espinosa at the West Course of the Winged Foot Golf Club, Mamaroneck, N.Y., in June. Jones' score was 69-75-71-79-294 - six over par.

In his fourth playoff, however, he was invincible; his 72-69-141 was 23 strokes better than Espinosa's 84-80-164. The purse now was $5,000. First professional prize was $1,000, instead of $500, and the rewards for the other leaders also were substantially increased, although none after those tied for 20th place was rewarded.
