R.L. Miller
Two Millers
played in the final at Shawnee Golf Course, Louisville, Ky., in July, 1932,
but they were not related. R. L.Miller, who was 21 and insisted his initials
didn't stand for anything, returned the Championship to Jacksonville, Fla.,
by defeating Pete Miller, of Chicago, 4 and 2. The winner had recently been
reinstated to amateur status after working for a year in a professional's
shop. Joe Nichols, who had been runnerup the previous year and was now 16,
won the medal with 145, and five players tied for the last two places in
match play at 153, a new low.
One of the five was Ferrera, the defender, and he qualified the following
morning on the sixth hole of the playoff. Kauffmann failed to qualify
for the third successive year. Louisville set a new record of 606 in winning
its first team competition by one stroke over Chicago. There were 213
individual entries and 32 team entries, both new highs.
