...playoff with Mangrum next day, 12,000 fans clambered over the course to watch the pair. Bobby shot 69; Mangrum had a 73. Said Good Loser Mangrum: "It certainly is a pleasure to be doing business with an old established firm." Said Locke, as he tucked the $2,500 winner's check* in his pocket, "I just can't say how nice it is to be back in the United States again...

It was still the same old methodical, plodding show that once prompted Lloyd Mangrum to say to Bobby: "You're the only man I've ever seen who looked like he was shooting an 80 and came in with a 70."

He saved himself putting troubles by laying his approach shot within nudging distance of the hole, wound up with a winning 16-under-par for the tournament and $3,000. Tired little Ben Hogan, who had squeezed Winner Mangrum out of the U.S. Open playoff the week before, just went through the motions, finished eleventh in a field...
