| Bruce McCormick Bruce McCormick, 28, of Los Angeles, became Champion by defeating Don Erickson, of Alhambra, 1 up, in the first all-California final at the Harding Park Course, San Francisco. Erickson had been dormie-3 and McCormick saved the match only on the last green. Erickson had equalled the qualifying record established by George Aulbach in the first Championship in 1922 by scoring 67-72-139. His 67 was a new 18-hold record. The qualifying deadline of 152 represented another new low; although there were 64 qualifiers, it was one stroke below the old low for 32 qualifiers. Sacramento completed a California sweep by winning its first team Championship with another new low of 587. There were 190 entrants and 186 starters. Exactly half the qualifiers were Californians, and three from that state reached the semi-final round. Abbott was eliminated in the quarter-finals. |
