Macdonald "Mac" Smith (March 18, 1892 – August 31, 1949) (first name also given as MacDonald, birth year also given as 1890) was a member of a famous Scottish golfing family. He was born in Carnoustie, Scotland and died in Glendale, California. Two of his brothers won the U.S. Open; Willie in 1899 and Alex in both 1906 and 1910. Brothers George and Jim also played golf. He lost a playoff in the 1910 U.S. Open to brother Alex and John McDermott. He won 24 times on the early PGA Tour but never won a major championship, trailing only Harry Cooper for most wins without a major. He finished 17 times in the top-10 at major championships, including second place finishes at the 1930 U.S. Open and the 1930 and 1932 British Opens. He did win the Western Open three times, in 1912, 1925, and 1933 when it was a prestigious tournament rivaling the majors.
