US Open 1952, Tampa
Compiled by Phony Benoni

<1952 US Open
Tampa, Florida
July 14-25, 1952>

Larry Evans became only the fourth player to repeat as US Open Champion. He started out 6-0, which put him 1.5 points up on eventual second place finisher Arturo Pomar. The Spaniard put up a spirited fight in the second half, but couldn't quite catch up in the second half.

Also undefeated was Donald Byrne, who tied for third with the suprise player of the tournament Phil Le Cornu.

A celebrity of a different sort was <Jacqueline Piatigorsky>, better known as a tournament patron bu of the strongest US women players in the 1950s and 1960s.

Unfortunately, I have been able to find almost no games from the tournament. If you know of a stash somewhere, please let me know.
