Nelson Wins San Francisco Open Ahead of Ferrier
Byron Nelson captured the San Francisco Open for the second straight year with a 281 total over 72 holes, edging Jim Ferrier who finished 282 after leading much of the event. Ferrier’s late heroics included a shot from a tree, but a missed six-foot putt at the 69th hole sealed Nelson’s two stroke victory. Ferrier earned second with 1866 dollars plus a low scoring service man bonus, while Nelson’s cash push surpassed 43 thousand in bonds.
