Ben Hogan(Match Play)

Runner-up: Mike Turnesa

Ben Hogan won his second and final PGA Championship title, defeating Mike Turnesa 7&6 in the 36-hole final. Hogan's dominance in match play was total; he was playing the best golf of his career before his near-fatal automobile accident the following year. The margin of victory remains one of the largest in a PGA final.
