Bob Jones was halfway to winning the "Grand Slam" as he approached the U.S. Open at Interlachen Country Club. At the final hole, Jones left his approach shot 40 feet away for birdie. "As I stepped up to the putt, I confess that my most optimistic expectation was to get the thing close," Jones later wrote. He did one better, holing the putt to earn a two-stroke victory over Macdonald Smith. Ten weeks later, he won the U.S. Amateur at Merion to finish the "Slam."
