(New York Herald Tribune) Metz second by six shots to Ralph's 284 June 12, 1938 1-C It was the second of Guldahl's three major titles. Metz owned a four-stroke lead over Guldahl after Saturday morning's third round, but Metz struggled in the afternoon and shot a 79 (+8) to finish at 290 (+6). Guldahl began his round with two birdies in his first six holes on his way to a 69 (−2) and an even-par 284 total, six strokes ahead of Metz.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rcxYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=eegDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6411%2C6264521 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon United Press McLemore Henry Ralph Guldahl retains national open golf championship June 12, 1938 10 His six-shot victory was the largest since Jim Barnes won by nine strokes in 1921. Guldahl became the fourth player to successfully defend at the U.S. Open, joining Willie Anderson, John McDermott, and Bobby Jones. There have only been three since: Ben Hogan in 1951, Curtis Strange in 1989 and Brooks Koepka in 2018. In the second round, Ray Ainsley set a dubious record by shooting a 19 on the par-4 16th hole. Ainsley's ball landed in a creek, and instead of taking a drop he continued to play the ball out. He shot 96 (+25) for the round and missed the cut. This was the first U.S. Open played in the western United States. The U.S. Open returned in 1960 and 1978, and the PGA Championship was played here in 1941 and 1985. The average elevation of the course exceeds 5300 ft 5 above sea level. This was the first U.S. Open in which the players were limited to a maximum of 14 clubs; the USGA rule (4-4) went into effect in January 1938.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ne0xAAAAIBAJ&sjid=HeIFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5806%2C121552 Reading Eagle Pennsylvania United Press Golfers limited to 14 clubs in competition January 1, 1937 14 https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=p-w-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=Dk0MAAAAIBAJ&pg=2679%2C34971 Tuscaloosa News Alabama Associated Press Tournament golfers limited to 14 clubs January 1, 1937 7 Guldahl won the title the previous year with 19 clubs in his bag.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qKVQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JSIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5248%2C4498790 Milwaukee Journal Uses 19 clubs June 13, 1937 1, sports Round summaries First round Thursday, June 9, 1938 PlacePlayerScoreTo parT1 USA 1912 Jimmy Hines 70 −1 USA 1912 Henry Picard 3 USA 1912 John Rogers 71 E 4 USA 1912 Emery Zimmerman 72 +1 T5 USA 1912 Dick Metz 73 +2 USA 1912 Willie Hunter T7 USA 1912 Ted Adams (a) 74 +3 USA 1912 Dick Chapman (a) USA 1912 Olin Dutra USA 1912 Alex Follmer USA 1912 Jim Foulis USA 1912 Ralph Guldahl USA 1912 Alvin Krueger USA 1912 Levi Lynch USA 1912 Tony Manero USA 1912 Johnny Revolta USA 1912 Gene Sarazen USA 1912 Wilford Wehrle (a) Source:http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1938/06/10/page/25/article/picard-and-hines-tie-for-national-open-golf-lead Chicago Daily Tribune Bartlett Charles Picard and Hines tie for National Open golf lead June 10, 1938 25 Second round Friday, June 10, 1938 PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 USA 1912 Henry Picard 70-70=140 −2 2 USA 1912 Dick Metz 73-68=141 −1 T3 USA 1912 Jug McSpaden 76-67=143 +1 USA 1912 Emery Zimmerman 72-71=143 5 USA 1912 Ralph Guldahl 74-70=144 +2 T6 USA 1912 Harry Cooper 76-69=145 +3 USA 1912 Olin Dutra 74-71=145 USA 1912 Jimmy Hines 70-75=145 USA 1912 Willie Hunter 73-72=145 10 USA 1912 Johnny Revolta 74-72=146 +4 Source:http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1938/06/11/page/17/article/picard-leads-national-open-scores-140 Chicago Daily Tribune Bartlett Charles Picard leads National Open; scores 140 June 11, 1938 17 Third round Saturday, June 11, 1938 (morning) PlacePlayerScoreTo par1 USA 1912 Dick Metz 73-68-70=211 −2 2 USA 1912 Jimmy Hines 70-75-69=214 +1 3 USA 1912 Ralph Guldahl 74-70-71=215 +2 4 USA 1912 Emery Zimmerman 72-71-73=216 +3 T5 USA 1912 Jug McSpaden 76-67-74=217 +4 USA 1912 Henry Picard 70-70-77=217T7 USA 1912 John Rogers 71-76-73=220 +7 USA 1912 Denny Shute 77-71-72=220T9 USA 1912 Harry Cooper 76-69-76=221 +8 USA 1912 George Von Elm 78-72-71=221 Source:http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1938/06/11/page/17/article/picard-leads-national-open-scores-140 Chicago Daily Tribune Bartlett Charles Picard leads National Open; scores 140 June 11, 1938 17 Final round Saturday, June 11, 1938 (afternoon) PlacePlayerScoreTo parMoney ($)1 USA 1912 Ralph Guldahl 74-70-71-69=284 E 1,0002 USA 1912 Dick Metz 73-68-70-79=290 +6 800T3 USA 1912 Harry Cooper 76-69-76-71=292 +8 650 USA 1912 Toney Penna 78-72-74-68=292T5 USA 1912 Byron Nelson 77-71-74-72=294 +10 412 USA 1912 Emery Zimmerman 72-71-73-78=294 T7 USA 1912 Frank Moore 79-73-72-71=295 +11 216 USA 1912 Henry Picard 70-70-77-78=295 USA 1912 Paul Runyan 78-71-72-74=29510 USA 1912 Gene Sarazen 74-74-75-73=296 +12 106 Source: References 2 External links USGA Championship Database 1938 Category:U.S. Open (golf) Category:Golf tournaments in Colorado Category:Sports competitions in Englewood, Colorado U.S. Open U.S. Open U.S. Open U.S. Open
