Betger, a left-hander, 5 and 4, at the Ranch Golf Course, Los Angeles. It was the third individual victory for a San Franciscan, and San Francisco also won the team Championship with a new low of 221 for three men playing 18 holes. By sweeping all honors, San Francisco duplicated the achievements of Pittsburgh in 1928, the Los Angeles area in 1936, and Atlanta in 1947. Ferentz was stopped in the first round, and Horace Henry of Houston, Texas, defeated Gordon B. Hammond, Jr., of Rockford, Ill. At 24 holes, equalling the extra-hole record made in the 1922 Championship. The course measured 6,805 yards, the longest on which the Championship has been held. |
