At the end of the first 18 holes, Allis led by three up, and he maintained this margin in the second half of the final.—Reuter.

Percy Allis, the 40 year-old Leeds professional has built up a glittering record since winning the British Assistants Championship in 1920. He was professional champion of Wales in 1920-21. Most of his golfing honours have been won outside Great Britain' He has shown a great partiality for the German Open which he has captured five times, including three successive victories, Twice the Italian Open has fallen to his clubs and in between those wins he has recorded several seconds in the French and Canadian championships, He has played Ryder Cup for Great Britain on four occasions. This is his second success in the News of the World Tournament which is worth something in the vicinity of £1,000.
