Rare USGA official program for the 36th U.S. Open, issued before the first round with no scores listed. Gene Sarazen won the event, shooting a 286, the lowest in 20 previous years. He was 7 strokes behind as he came to the 9th tee on the morning of the final day. But, in the final 18 holes he played a 66, the lowest round in the Championship to that date, to win by three strokes. Sarazen had already won the British Open earlier that year.

Tillinghast, of which there is an article devoted to him.
