Torrid temperatures enveloped Congressional Country Club and took its toll on the competitors, especially Ken Venturi. A third-round 66 put him within two shots of leader Tommy Jacobs, but Venturi was visibly shaking down the stretch. He was given tea and salt tablets to combat his dehydration and was advised by a doctor to withdraw. Venturi declined, and his perseverance paid off with a 70 and a four-stroke victory.
