At St. Andrews

In the semi-finals of the British Amateur Golf Championship, Roger Wethered, 1923 champion, was eliminated by E. F. Storey, captain of the Cambridge University Golf Team. E. W. Holderness, 1922 champion, won from Robert Harris, Royal and Ancient, 2 & 1.

The following day the semifinalists went forth to do battle. At the end of the first nine holes Storey was three up. Cold wind blew steady rain against the golfers; and at the end of the first round Storey still led by one stroke.

The second round proved fatal to Storey, however, and Holderness beat him, 3 & 2, and became Amateur Champion of all Britain.
