1925 U.S. Open Winner and Scores
Winner: Willie Macfarlane, 291
Where it was played: Worcester Country Club in Worcester, Massachussetts
Tournament dates: June 3-5, 1925
Leader after first round: Francis Ouiment, 70

Leader after third round: Willie Macfarlane, 213
Notable Notes: In the second round, Willie Macfarlane set a new tournament record of 67. In the final round, he scored 11 shots higher (78), which cost him outright victory. Instead, he was forced into an 18-hole playoff against Bobby Jones. But both golfers shot 75, so Macfarlane and Jones had to play another 18. Jones took a 4-stroke lead at the turn in the second 18, but Macfarlane turned in a magnificent 33 over the final nine to win by one stroke.
