Paul Runyan

A two-time winner of the PGA Championship (1934, '38), Runyan was a short hitter but was famously accurate through the green, and his soft touch around and on the green was legendary.  In the 1938 PGA, he defeated Sam Snead, 8 and 7, and was 24-under-par for the 196 holes he played. Between 1930 and 1941, Runyan won 28 times on the pro circuit. In 1933, he won nine times, and, in 1934, won six more to take top money the first year such records were kept, with a total of $6,767. Runyan, who became a famed short-game teacher following his tour career, won the PGA Seniors in 1961 and '62 and was elected into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1990.
