James Foulis

The second Open went to the 18-hole course of the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southampton, N.Y., in July. Like the first, it was a sideshow to the Amateur. However, there were 35 entrants and 28 finished the 36 holes.

The course measured only 4,423 yards, and Jim Foulis, a Scottish professional representing the Chicago Golf Club, won with 78-74-152.



The 74 set a record that was not broken until seven years later, after the rubber-core ball had come into use. Rawlins was runner-up, three strokes back.
