Mangrum Takes National Open

CLEVELAND-Purple Heart hero Lloyd Mangrum played calmly through a violent downpour today to win the National Open golf championship in a second playoff with Byron Nelson and Vic Ghezzi.

Down and apparently out, Mangrum came storming back on the last six holes for an even par 36.36-72 which bested a 34.39-73 posted by the other two.
