Ross: Somerville, the Canadian amateur golf champion, today won the United States amateur golf championship, defeating John Goodman, of Omaha, in the final by two up and one to play.
By capturing the American amateur title Somerville is the first foreigner to achieve what many others have vainly attempted to do during the last two decades, To-day's match was a ding-dong affair and was crammed full with excitement. Each player led alternately. The American was two up at the eleventh hole, but Somerville, holing a magnificent fitty-foot putt for a birdie three, led by one up at the end of the first eighteen holes—Reater.
