Even in strokes (77) and holes after the morning round, Sarazen was two up with three holes to play, but consecutive bogeys left them all square and the 36th hole was halved with par fours.http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1923/09/30/page/1/article/sarazen-wins-against-hagen-at-38th-hole Chicago Sunday Tribune Fullerton Hugh Sarazen wins against Hagen at 38th hole September 30, 1923 1, sec. 1 Both birdied the first extra hole with fours and the next was a driveable par four, a short downhill dogleg, and both went for the green. Hagen's tee shot was only 20 ft 0 in from the cup but in a bunker, while Sarazen was in the rough and 50 ft 0 in out. Hagen failed to exit the sand with his second shot, while Sarazen pitched to four feet (1.2 m) and sank it for a birdie to win. Hagen rebounded and won the next four PGA Championships (1924–1927).
