Unofficial
At Los Angeles, Gene Sarazen, U. S. professional golf champ, bested Arthur Gladstone Havers, British open champ, for the so-called "unofficial professional championship of the world."
The match, scheduled for 72 holes, went 68, was played half in San Francisco.
Lanky Havers, "nervous as a hen," missed easy puts. Genial, confident Sarazen drove almost as far as the hard-hitting Briton, knocked out six birdies in the last day's play.
