Leader after first round: Chick Evans and Wilfred Reid, 70
Leader after second round: Chick Evans, 139

Notable Notes: Amateur Chick Evans set a tournament scoring record of 286 that was so impressive for its time it wasn't matched again until the 1932 U.S. Open. Evans led by three over Jim Barnes entering the final round, and wound up winning by two over Jock Hutchison. Hutchison shot 68 in the final round to close the gap, which was the lowest final-round score in U.S. Open history to this point. ... Evans carried only seven clubs in setting his record score: the equivalents of the 2- and 3-woods, 2-, 4-, 6- and 9-irons, plus the putter.
