WGA completed championship result; detailed guide PDF page147 and venue/summary table. WGA summary and MGA history give 3 & 1; WGA narrative and actual final bracket give 2 & 1. Ward and Victor are agreed. Both score displays remain null. MGA independently identifies Minneapolis Golf Club, despite WGA Minneapolis Country Club label.
Verified 2026-10-23 - Minneapolis Golf Club
WGA identifies July 9-14 Minneapolis Country Club, Minneapolis, Minn. 6,660 yards, par 72 as the 1940 host. Club-level venue only; historical physical-course identity remains unasserted. 1940 winning margin3&1 versus2&1 remains disputed. Winner and runner-up are agreed. The institution and city are verified, but independent historical physical-course continuity is not established in this batch. Keep club-only; do not bind a current course by name alone.
