In the second round that afternoon, Black shot a 71 to take a two-stroke lead over Bill Mehlhorn, with Hagen and Sarazen another stroke back.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ogpWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ueEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5839%2C3423247 Spokesman-Review Spokane, Washington John Black leads first half at Skokie course July 15, 1922 14 Jones had an even-par 70 in the third round to take a share of the 54-hole lead with Mehlhorn, while Black's 75 left him one behind. The leaders could not contend with Sarazen's brilliant play in the final round, recording a two-putt birdie on the finishing hole for a 68 and 288 total. Black needed to par the final two holes to force a playoff, but his tee shot on 17 went out of bounds and led to a double bogey. Needing an eagle on the par-5 18th to tie, Black's second shot landed 10 ft 0 in from the pin, but in a greenside bunker. When he failed to hole out from the sand, Sarazen clinched the title. Sarazen, age 20, became the fourth American-born champion of the U.S. Open, joining John McDermott, Francis Ouimet, and Hagen. He won a second U.S. Open ten years later in 1932.
