Bobby Jones of Detroit mot the"
Bobby jones' defeated the veteran
Francis Ouimet. Brookline's own,
who is a two-time winner of the
title. Jones, midwestern young

Ouimet and Jones were even at
the turn. Francis had gone out in
81 against Jones' SO. The next
three holes were halved. Jones went
into a lead with a par 4 at the
thirteenth when Ouimet hooked his
second off line.
Putt BOunces Out
The remaining holes were halved
although Francis nearly evened the
match at the fifteenth where his
forty-foot putt ran into the cup but
bounced out. At the seventeenth
Ouimet's ten-foot putt ran in and
out. Jones was in the rough with
his drive at this hole, but recovered
perfectly to get home in two, and
they halved in As.
Ouimet was trapped with his Sec

realizing he had the match won,
took three puts for 5.
