Alex Smith (1910) – Deal

Alex Smith won again, but only after a long battle with Johnny McDermott from the Philadelphia area. McDermott, who would go on to win the 1911 and 1912 U.S. Opens, hit the better approach shots and rarely made a mistake, but missed several putts of between 4 and 12 feet.  Ultimately, Smith won with a 301 score, two ahead of McDermott.
