US Open 1953, Milwaukee
Compiled by Phony Benoni
--*--

<54th US Open
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
August 10-21, 1953>

Returning to its Midwest roots seemed to do wonders for the US Open, as Milwaukee smashed the previous attendance record set at Detroit 1950 by a full 50%, totalling 181 players in a thirteen-round event. An exciting finish saw <Donald Byrne> defeat Max Pavey and edge him out by 1/2-point.

In Open trivia, <Anthony Santasiere> set a record by playing in his 15th tournament, while <Herman Steiner> tied the old record with his 14th (set by <William Widmeyer> and <John Winter>). The most notable debutant was <William James Lombardy>.

The published crosstable was full of errors and had no results beyond player #50. I hope the following is correct, as far as it goes. An unknown result is indicated by <****>.
