Golf career

1872 Open Championship

The 1872 Open Championship was the 12th Open Championship, held 13 September at Prestwick Golf Club in Prestwick, South Ayrshire, Scotland.[1] There were only 8 competitors and the contest started at 10 a.m. There was a strong wind all day which made for difficult playing conditions.[2]

Tom Morris, Jr. won the Championship for the fourth consecutive time, by three strokes from runner-up Davie Strath, having been five shots behind Strath before the final round. He was just 21 years and 146 days old. Brown shot rounds of 65-73-61=199 and finished in seventh place.[1]

Death

Brown's date and place of death are unknown.

gollark: They are not, mostly, because of ASI.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Oh, that's declaring the existent of the variable `stmt`.
