In the above it will be seen that only two have been ranked each year since 1919. They are Barnes and Hagen. Their average rankings for the six years differ by less than a point, Hagen having 2.16 and Barnes 8.00. It will be noted that this is the first year in six that Hagen has had a worse ranking than 3: MacFarlane gets into the ratings for the first time since 1920, Turness is in for the first time, and Sarazen returns to the seats of the mighty.
MacFarlane won the U. S. open championship; Barnes the British agreement has virtually open; and Hagen has twice been British open champion.
