All Hall of Famers

Jack “Jock” Hutchison moved to the United States from Scotland and became a U.S. citizen in 1920. He won two major championships, the 1920 PGA Championship and the 1921 Open Championship at St. Andrews.  In his career, Hutchison played in seven PGA Championships and boasted an incredible 74% winning percentage in those match play years.   In 1937, Hutchison won the inaugural PGA Seniors’ Championship at Augusta National Golf Club by an impressive 8 strokes, and in 1947 he won that event for a second time at PGA National at Dunedin.  In fact, only five players in the history of the golf world’s oldest senior major, have won more than Hutchison (Sam Snead won 6 times, Hale Irwin 4 times and three others three times).  In fact, Hutchison was runner-up three other times losing in playoffs in 1940, ’46 and ’51).  Hutchison was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2010.
