Accompanying him early in December 1923 were his wife and a chauffeur, who drove the Hagens' Cadillac southward from Philadelphia to St. Petersburg. It was Hagen's first automobile trip along the Atlantic coast, and he immensely enjoyed the scenery, especially in the Carolinas. He had traveled the same path many times by railroad but found that it "did not compare in any way, shape or form with the motor car" as a means of transportation. After he arrived in St. -

Smith George Griffin, Sr. Frank Moore Jimmy Thomson Clarence Hackney Byron Nelson Ted Turner The Leaders Alexander “Alec” “Alex” Duncan Born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1887, Alex Duncan was the brother of the famous golf professional George Duncan who won the 1920 British Open. In 1911 he arrived in America with his brother George who came here to play exhibitions. The Philadelphia Cricket Club’s professional Willie Anderson had died in late 1910 and Alex was hired to replace him. Duncan had been an assistant at the Hanger Hill Club in the suburbs of London where George was the professional. On two occasions he was the professional and green superintendent at the Cricket Club. He was the professional at the Cricket Club from 1911 through 1915. In 1916 Duncan moved west and soon became the pro- fessional at the Chicago Golf Club. He returned to the Cricket Club in 1925 for another stay that lasted until his death 21 years later. In 1929 he was the tournament chairman and handled a difficult problem with the rules at the Section Championship to the satis- faction of all involved. In 1930 he was elected second vice president of the Section and the next year he was elected president. He served two years as the Philadelphia Section’s seventh president. -

For several years, those two matters had consumed golf analysts around the globe, but there would be little room for debate by December 1926. A year earlier, however, there was plenty of argument, especially on the first issue. Hagen had won two British Opens and finished runner-up in three attempts; he also had won the match-play championship for his class the previous two years. Jones had won a U.S. Open and finished runner-up three times in his last four attempts; he, too, had won the match-play championship for his class in 1924 and 1925. -

Lowe, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History Olivet Nazarene University On the evening of Saturday, January 27, 1923, "Wild Bill" Mehlhorn approached the eighteenth tee of San Antonio's Brackenridge Park golf course. The situation was clear. Mehlhorn was in the last foursome of the Texas Open and with a one shot lead over Walter Hagen, all he needed was a par four to win the second annual tournament. The eighteenth was not a particularly challenging hole as many of the players had scored birdie threes on it. But, of course, none of them needed a par to win the tournament and Wild Bill (so-called because of his fondness for playing poker, and golf, in a cowboy hat) did have a reputation for shaky putting when it mattered most. -
