In the U.S. Open’s first visit to Merion, California native Olin Dutra stormed back from an eight-stroke deficit after two rounds to edge two-time champion Gene Sarazen by one stroke. Dutra, the 1932 PGA Championship winner, fell ill during his cross-country drive to the championship, losing 15 pounds, but recovered in time to compete, and ultimately closed with rounds of 71-72 to pass 17 competitors en route to victory.
