Golf career






= 1860 Open Championship

=
The 1860 Open Championship was a golf competition held at Prestwick Golf Club, in Ayrshire, Scotland. It is now regarded as the first Open Championship. Eight golfers contested the event, with Willie Park, Sr. winning the championship by 2 shots from Tom Morris, Sr. also known as "Old Tom Morris". Brown scored 192 in three rounds of play.




= 1863 Open Championship

=
The 1863 Open Championship was the fourth Open Championship and was again held at Prestwick Golf Club. Eight professionals and six amateurs contested the event in wet and windy weather, with Willie Park, Sr. winning the championship for the second time, by two shots from Tom Morris, Sr. Brown carded rounds of 58-61-57=176 but did not win any prize money; only the top 4 finishers received a cash prize.



Details of play

As in previous years, the contest was held over three rounds of the 12-hole links course. For the first time there was prize money for those finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th, although the winner only received the Challenge Belt for the next year.
Davie Park, younger brother of Willie, led after the first round with a score of 55. An excellent second round 54 meant that Willie led by four strokes. Eventually Willie won by two strokes from Morris, spoiling Morris's attempt at a third consecutive win, which would have given him outright possession of the Challenge Belt which had been donated by Archibald Montgomerie, the Earl of Eglinton, although Morris took the second prize of £5.




Death and legacy


Brown died in 1902 in London, England. He is best known for having three top-10 finishes in the Open Championship.
