Francis Ouimet was an American amateur golfer, born in 1893 and died in 1967, who is frequently called the father of amateur golf in the United States. He won the 1913 U.S. Open as an amateur, defeating Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in an 18-hole playoff. He later became the first non-Briton elected Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, and he was posthumously inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974.
