William Lawson Little Jr. (June 23, 1910 – February 1, 1968) was an American professional golfer who also had a distinguished amateur career. Little was born in Newport, Rhode Island, and lived much of his early life in the San Francisco area, where his father was a senior military officer. Little was one of the most dominant amateur players in the history of the sport, capturing both the British Amateur and the U.S. Amateur, then regarded as major championships, consecutively in 1934 and 1935. He remains the only player to have won both titles in the same year more than once. Little's winning margin of 14 and 13 in the 1934 British final remains the record for dominance. Bob Dickson, Harold Hilton and Bobby Jones are the only other golfers to have won the two titles in the same year.

  • Lawson Little, född 23 juni 1910 i Newport i Rhode Island, död 1 februari 1968 i Monterey, Kalifornien, var en amerikansk golfspelare. Som amatörspelare anses Little som den bäste vid sidan av Bobby Jones och Tiger Woods. Little vann både US Amateur och British Amateur två år i rad (1934 och 1935) vilket varken Jones eller Woods klarade av. Att vinna de båda tävlingarna under ett och samma år fick namnet Little Slam efter Lawson Little, trots att Harold Hilton och Bobby Jones hade gjort det tidigare. Under de två åren vann han dessutom 34 amatörtävlingar i rad mot världens bästa amatörspelare. 1935 belönades han med Sullivan Award för den bäste amerikanske amatöridrottaren. (sv)
