Peter Davison (1973) – Hackensack

As officials mopped water from the greens with huge bath towels so the contestants could finish in a heavy downpour, Georgia-born Peter Davison, a teaching assistant at Woodmere, carded a 73 that allowed him to maintain the one-stroke advantage he held over Tom Joyce, Assistant Professional at Stanwich, since the second round.  The officials had to move the cups on the 16th and 18th holes to higher ground between rounds.
