About Jug McSpaden

Harold Lee "Jug" McSpaden was an American professional golfer, and golf course architect. In 1944, when winners were paid in war bonds, McSpaden won $23,855. McSpaden's winnings that year were second only to Nelson's record-breaking $37,967 worth of bonds. He played in the first Masters in 1934 and won the Pasadena Open in 1935; the Canadian Open in 1939; and both the Los Angeles Open and the Phoenix Open in 1944 (his only head-to-head win against Byron Nelson). In 1947, McSpaden became vice president of a sportswear company, the Palm Beach Company, and left the professional golf tour; he did compete periodically in Tour events for some time after this.
