Jerome D. Travers

Hilton was back to defend his title but did not succeed. He tied with Charles Evans, Jr., for the medal and lost the playoff. The USGA had issued the national handicap list in March, showing 471 eligible players with handicaps 0-to-6, but only 86 entered. Jerome Travers was back in form and defeated Evans 7 and 6, in the final at the Chicago Golf Club, in September.
