| Michael R. Ferentz An all-match-play Championship was instituted at the North Fulton Park Golf Course, Atlanta, Ga., the form being precisely the same as that which had been reinstituted in the Amateur Championship a year earlier. The winner after eight rounds of match play was Michael R. Ferentz, a 33-year-old Long Beach, Calif. Bartender who was competing for the first time. He benefited by stymies to get a half and a win on the 34th and 35th holes and defeated Benjamin G. Hughes, of Portland, Ore., 2 and 1, in the final. Crossley gave up his title in the fifth round. Fourty-four sectional qualifying rounds, a new high, were employed, and 210 players qualified out of an original 2,728. The basis of the team Championship was changed again. Play was conducted separately at only 18 holes stroke play on the Saturday prior to the start of the individual Championship, and the teams of three men represented qualifying sections rather than cities. The Raleigh, N.C. section won for the first time with a score of 223. |
