Cruickshank Near Open Title Again at Winged Foot
Robert Allan Cruickshank, famed Scotch amateur turned pro, nearly captured the U S Open title for a second time. After 1921 entry and 27th place, he tied for fourth in 1923 and, with a final round 73, threatened Jones and Bobby in a 18 hole play-off before losing. He matched the best single round 72 in 1924 and later showed strong rounds in Britain. He struggled through a hospital break last year but rebounded with a 73 74 start in Britain, then 78 76 final two rounds. His accuracy with long irons and Winged Foot’s length pose no easy test, though traps may threaten his finish.
