Mayer Wins Open Championship in Humid Toledo
Dick Mayer, 32, of St. Petersburg, Florida, defeated Cary Middlecoff in a seven hole playoff at Inverness Club to become America’s Open golf king.

Mayer, who left Wall Street for golf in 1949, collected 7,200 dollars from a 30,000 dollar purse as Uncle Sam loomed over tax timing.
