1904
H. Chandler Egan, of the Exmoor Country Club, Chicago, was 20, and had
just been graduated from Harvard when he won his first Championship the
following September. The test was 54 holes qualifying (for which Egan
was low with 242) for 32 places.
Travis went out in the second round when George Ormiston of Oakmont
holed a cleek shot for an eagle 2. Egan defeated Fred Herreshoff in the
final round, 8 and 6, at the Baltusrol Golf Club, Springfield, N.J.
