Florida Open

In Tampa, James Barnes, Walter Hagen, John Farrell, Robert Cruikshank, Edward Loos, Gene Sarazen, Joseph Kirkwocd and many another famed professional golfer competed in the Florida Open Championship. Among them Leo Diegel, Washingtonian and Champion of Canada, drove, chipped, putted. On the first two rounds, his performance was competent: his third round, though not brilliant, brought him within one stroke of the leader-- Barnes. The golfers set out on the fourth round, attended by a great gallery which often cheered the. admirable shots of Diegel as those of a player who was making a gallant and unlikely attempt at last-round victory. Diegel, unruffled, turned in a card of 67,* broke the course record, won the Florida Open. His score for the 72 holes was 286. Barnes 288, was second; Loos 292, third; Hagen 293, fourth. The others straggled after. Diegel's monetary reward was $1,500.

Par is 70.
