Can you name the first teenage player to win the US chess championship?

No, it wasn't Fischer.  I'll keep this thing open a while longer to see if anybody gets it.

Larry Evans--who won it in 1951 (at the age of 19).  Fischer didn't win it until 1958; and Morphy was 20 when he won it (almost exactly 100 years before Bob).
