3rd Louis D Statham Masters Tournament
Lone Pine, California
March 18-24, 1973

The tournament was open to all Masters and above, and Experts under age 21 (Juniors). The field expanded to 48 players, with international stars Laszlo Szabo and Anthony Miles joining the usual roster of top US masters and hopefuls. In the end, it was Arthur Bisguier hitting his form to finish on top, thanks in large part to a crucial round six win over Miles.
