He accumulated 32 PGA Tour titles in total, the last of them in 1941. Smith's two major championships both came at the Masters Tournament, the first at the inaugural tournament in 1934 and the second in 1936. He played in every Masters until his death in 1963. He also played for the United States in the Ryder Cup five times: 1929, 1931, 1933, 1935 and 1937.
Meanwhile, Fuentes tied for 13th in the 33rd PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship at the PGA Golf Club Wanamaker Course in Port St. Lucie, Fla., May 10-12. The East Lansing, Mich. native fired rounds of 81, 78, and 76 for a total of 19-over 235.
