Smith and few will argue about his
nomination. Smith finished second to
Jones in both the British and United
States open and his friends may find
much consolation in the fact that 1t
took the greatest golfer of all time to
head the old master from CarnouStie.
Only for the genius of Jones the tall
Scot well might hold the two major
open championships of the world.
Smith has been one of the unlucky
golfers of his day and was doubly I'M
fortunate in being a contemporary OF
Jones in the season Robert elected to
establish an enduring record.
Should Rank No. 1.
Two shots behind Jones at Hoylake
and two behind him at Interlachen.
there can be little question of Smiths
right to be ranked No. among the
professionals of 1880. Mac also played
well in numerous other events. He
never is a contestant in the p. G. A.
championship or else his score might
be higher.
Second place lies between Tommy
Armour, who won the P. G. A. title,
the Canadian open and finished sixth
in the United States open, and Horton
Smith, who followed Mac Smith to the
wire both at Hoylake and Interlachen.
The writer prefers to accord the posi-
ton to Armour, since he actually drove
through to victories in two fine cham
pionships and against formidable fields
Armour enjoyed one of his greatest
seasons and over the past five years
has held every American title in the
pro field. Smith is a grand golfer
but is still short of championship quail
tiles, although he wins consistently
in minor events.
Gene SaIazen comes next. with VIC
tories in the Western. Aqua Caliente
and Miami Beach opens, not to mention
lesser titles He shot brilliant golf in
the Western and hammered his way to
the finals IN the P. g. A., where Ar
