He played 108 holes at an average of four, and never exceeded five. He heat Bohby Jones' record of 285. The newspapers consider that neither Jones nor Hagen could have exceeded Sarazen's brilliance and consistence. He was so far ahead of the field that the news of Haver's record round of 68 in the morning came as' a pleasing incentive to further efforts, but Havers dropped irrecoverable strokes early in the afternoon, necessitating the almost impossible task of coming home in 32.
