Notable notes: Denny Shute defeated Jug McSpaden, 1-up, on the first extra hole of the championship match.

McSpaden had a four-foot birdie putt to win on the 36th hole, but missed. McSpaden then lipped out an eight-footer on the 37th green that would have extended the match, giving Shute the title. ... To reach the final, Shute beat Joe Turnesa, Olin Dutra, Ed Dudley, Jimmy Hines and Tony Manero.
