Drama Lifts Merion Open As Stars Seek National Crown
The National Open at Merion faces a field of great talent with Sam Snead challenging for the crown near his hometown, Gene Sarazen seeking redemption, and Joe Hogan making a comeback. Historic Bobby Jones glory still echoed by veterans and spectators along the course as Marines guard the cheering crowds.
Bobby Jones Triumph Recalled as Peak Golf Drama
A spectator notes Bobby Jones’s late summer weariness as he defeats Gene Homans 8 and 7 at Merion in Ardmore Pa, a victory that endears him to a nationwide audience of working Americans. The piece contrasts with 1934 Open drama of Dutra and Sarazen and harks back to 1930 glory when Marines helped Bobby escape an adoring crowd.
