Henry Ransom

Professional career In 1933, Ransom turned professional. His best finishes in the major championships were a T-5 at the 1950 U.S. Open and at the 1953 and 1956 PGA Championships (lost in quarter-finals of match play).

At a tournament in Texas in 1948, Ransom was involved in a fist-fight with one of his playing partners, the diminutive, short-tempered Australian Norman Von Nida that resulted in police having to pull them apart.

Ransom was forced off the tour in the late 1950s because of an allergy to grass.
