SARAZEN THE
OUTSTANDING
PLAYER OF PAST DECADE LINCOLNSHIRE
His Brilliant Career Began in 1922
S. V. Gittins Wins Country Club Captain's Cup
(By "Birdio")
REVIEWING THE PAST DECADE of golf, an American sports authority has given to Gene Sarazon the position of honour for the 'Thirties as Bobby Jones had for tho Twenties-the out- standing golfer of the decade, though accurately speaking the latter player's finest effort, that of winning the British and American Open and Amateur Championships, was in 1930.
Sarazen can claim no record as brilliant as that, but his successes over the years since he first began storming championship heights is one that allows every justifica tion for the (unofficial) honour that has been bestowed upon him. His best years, perhaps, were 1931:32-33. He established a record in the British Open in 1932 with a winning score of 283, though this figure has twice been equalled since; in 1934 by Henry Cotton, and in 1935 by Percy Allias, both of whom were winners.
