Champion

Sam Parks Jr.(+11)

Runner-up: Jimmy Thomson

Sam Parks Jr. won the only major championship of his career, the only player to master the brutally difficult Oakmont course that week. Parks was a Pittsburgh local who knew the course well. The winning score of +11 reflects just how demanding Oakmont was in 1935.
