Johnny Farrell and Bobby Jones slugged it out for the 1928 Open at Olympia Fields. Farrell tied Jones at 294 and after a tense playoff the match hinged on a 10-foot birdie by Farrell and a final clutch two-putt or three-putt choice, with Jones finishing strong on the last hole. Farrell sank key putts including a risky 6-foot approach through trees, while Jones matched with a 30-foot birdie on the 18th.
