Open I don't think he ever won anything else and went on to work for US Steel in the business world. When he retired he moved away and STILL owes me
$2.64 !!! Can you name him?? ( My parents made me write him a letter in the hopes the postal service would forward it, but never heard from him again!)
Could it be Lew Worsham? He won the open in 1947 and was later the pro at Oakmont where presumably he would have lived in the Pittsburgh area. He passed away in 1990.
