1932 U.S. Open: Sarazen Surges
The 1932 U.S. Open was the 36th time the tournament was played. A Sarazen surge produced another trophy for the golfer nicknamed "The Squire."
Winner: Gene Sarazen, 286
Where it was played: Fresh Meadow Country Club in Flushing, New York
Tournament dates: June 23-25, 1932
Leader after first round: Olin Dutra, 69
Leader after second round: Philip Perkins, 145
Leader after third round: Philip Perkins, 219
Notable Notes: Gene Sarazen trailed by one entering the final round, but shot the best round of the tournament — in fact, set the then-tournament scoring record — with a 66 in Round 4. That pushed him to a 3-shot win, and his second major of the year after he earlier won the 1932 British Open.
