Walter Rutherford

Walter Mathers Rutherford was a Scottish golfer, born on 23 September 1857, who died on 15 October 1913 in Jedburgh. He competed in the golf event at the 1900 Summer Olympics and won the silver medal in the men's competition with a score of 168 over 36 holes. He was educated at Madras College in St Andrews, and in later years farmed land at Jedburgh, where he was a vocal proponent of land reform. The English Wikipedia article about him is brief, so this entry records only what it states and leaves further detail to a later pass with the Olympic register sources.
