Notable Notes: Amateur Bobby Jones won his second U.S. Open and, since he had already won the 1926 British Open, became the first golfer to win both national Opens in the same year. He trailed Joe Turnesa by three entering the final round, but Jones shot 73 to Turnesa's 77 to overtake him and win the trophy. ... 1907 U.S. Open winner Alex Ross played the tournament for the final time this year.
