Fischer in Garrison Finish
Bobby Fischer won the U.S.A. Closed Championship at New York but only after an uphill fight. He lost to Edmar Mednis early on but managed to catch up to leader Arthur Bisguier at the semi-final. He won six games, including a victory over Samuel Reshevsky, and drew four others. This is his fifth win of the title.
