Paul Runyan (1934) – Echo Lake

Young Paul Runyan, star of the previous winter tour, calmly sank a five-foot putt on the 18th green to win the Met Open by one stroke.  Walter Hagen, who last won in 1920, and Wiffy Cox, the early leader, tied for second.  In the final round, Craig Wood fired a 66 and shattered the course record 67 established by Wiffy Cox in the first round and tied by Johnny Kinder in the second round.  Wood finished fourth, two behind Runyan.
