Willie MacFarlane (1930) – Fairview

Willie MacFarlane played the last three holes in birdie-birdie-par to edge Johnny Farrell by two strokes in a second playoff round after the players matched 70’s in the first extra round.  Both MacFarlane and Farrell had defeated Bobby Jones in playoffs for the U.S. Open title.  MacFarlane led most of the way in the second playoff round, just as he had done in the closing stages of tournament proper.  Farrell rallied with birdies on the 15th through 17th holes to force the playoff.  The pair turned in matching cards of 280 for the first 72 holes.
