Notable Notes: Olin Dutra overcame more than week of illness, not to mention Gene Sarazen, to win the second of his two major totals. Dutra was eight shots behind after two rounds, and trailed third-round leader Gene Sarazen by three. But Dutra shot 72 in the final round to Sarazen's 76, winning by one shot. Dutra was sick for more than week prior to the tournament with some kind of stomach virus, and reportedly lost 15 pounds. He played on despite that, and never regretted the decision to play. ... In the final round, PGA Championship winner Tom Creavy tied the tournament's then-record for 18 holes with a 66, the only round under 70 shot the whole tournament.
