Talk:Leonard Dodson

Hollywood Open
I think the article is incorrect (though it is sourced from a book). Dodson beat Horton Smith in a playoff for the Hollywood Open on December 30, 1937 (not 1939). There are several internet sources for this. Here is one from the Ottawa Citizen newspaper of December 31, 1937.

There seems to have been two "Hollywood Opens" played in 1937. Dick Metz won the Hollywood Open completed on March 5, 1937. Perhaps these are two different tournaments that share the same name. Also, it appears that the March tournament that Metz won is considered an official PGA tournament victory, whereas the December tournament that Dodson won is not.
