Gene Sarazen won his second U.S. Open championship,http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1932/06/26/page/19/article/sarazens-286-wins-open-finishes-in-66 Chicago Sunday Tribune Pettey Tom Sarazen's 286 wins Open; finishes in 66 June 26, 1932 1, part 2 and the fifth of his seven major titles, ten years after his first U.S. Open win. Earlier in the month, he won the 1932 British Open in England. Sarazen began with rounds of 74 and 76, which left him five strokes behind co-leaders José Jurado and Philip Perkins.http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1932/06/25/page/15/article/jurado-perkins-card-145-lead-open-golf Chicago Daily Tribune Pettey Tom Jurado, Perkins card 145; lead Open golf June 25, 1932 15 With a three-under-par back-nine in the third round, Sarazen carded an even-par 70 to get within a shot of Perkins after 54 holes. Perkins continued his solid play in the final round, shooting a 70 and a 289 total, while Bobby Cruickshank shot 68 to tie him. They were no match for Sarazen on this day, however, who carded a 66 (−4) to earn a three-stroke victory at 286. Sarazen set several scoring records on his way to the Open title. His 66 in the final round set a new tournament record, and a champion did not shoot a better final round until Arnold Palmer closed with 65 in 1960. His 286 total tied the tournament record, while his 136 over the final 36 holes set a record that stood until 1983. Sarazen was certainly helped by his familiarity with the venue; he was club pro at Fresh Meadow for five years, from 1925 to 1930. Four-time major champion Jim Barnes played his final major and finished in 55th place. Johnny Goodman won low-amateur honors at 14th; he went on to win the championship the following year, and remains the last amateur champion. The course where this U.S. Open was played in Queens no longer exists. Designed by A. W. Tillinghast, it opened in 1923 and also hosted the PGA Championship in 1930, won by Tommy Armour. Under increasing development and tax pressure, the Fresh Meadow Country Club sold the property in 1946, which was developed as a residential neighborhood (the Fresh Meadows section of Queens). The club then purchased the property, clubhouse, and golf course of the defunct Lakeville Golf & Country Club in Lake Success, its current home.http://www.freshmeadow.org/about Fresh Meadow Country Club About FMCC December 8, 2013 Daily admission for the U.S. Open in 1932 was $2.20, or $5.50 for all three days.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=us8_AAAAIBAJ&sjid=MA4EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6203%2C3323813 Milwaukee Sentinel Associated Press Gould Alan Sarazen gets 70 at Fresh Meadow; is Open favorite June 23, 1932 11 Course layout Hole123456789Out101112131415161718InTotalYards4373953911885784284124351433,4073854131554482194245873734043,4086,815Par444354443354434345443570 Round summaries First round Thursday, June 23, 1932 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 USA 1912 Olin Dutra 69 −12 USA 1912 Leo Diegel 73 +3 T3 ARG José Jurado 74 +4 USA 1912 Gene Sarazen T5 USA 1912 Billy Burke 75 +5 USA 1912 Lloyd Gullickson USA 1912 Walter Hagen T8 USA 1912 Dave Hackney 76 +6 AUS Joe Kirkwood Sr. USA 1912 Walter Kozak ENG Philip Perkins Source:http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1932/06/24/page/23/article/dutra-breaks-par-with-69-to-lead-open Chicago Sunday Tribune Pettey Tom Dutra breaks par with 69 to lead Open June 24, 1932 23 Second round Friday, June 24, 1932 PlacePlayerScoreTo parT1 ARG José Jurado 74-71=145 +5 ENG Philip Perkins 76-69=145 3 USA 1912 Olin Dutra 69-77=146 +6 4 USA 1912 Leo Diegel 73-74=147 +7 5 USA 1912 Walter Hagen 75-73=148 +8 T6 USA 1912 Harry Cooper 77-73=150 +10 USA 1912 Gene Sarazen 74-76=150 USA 1912 Craig Wood 79-71=150 T9 USA 1912 Henry Ciuci 77-74=151 +11 USA 1912 Clarence Clark 79-72=151 USA 1912 Vincent Eldred 78-73=151 USA 1912 Dave Hackney 76-75=151 USA 1912 Willie Klein 79-72=151 USA 1912 H.J.
