William Auchterlonie

William Auchterlonie, known as Willie, was a Scottish professional golfer from St Andrews who lived from 7 August 1872 to 27 February 1963. He won the 1893 Open Championship at the age of 21 years and 25 days, which makes him the second youngest Open champion after Tom Morris Jr., although it proved to be his only Open win. His brother Laurie Auchterlonie won the 1902 U.S. Open. He began his working life as an apprentice to the club makers R. Forgan and Son, ran club making businesses for most of his adult life and was honorary professional to the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews for nearly a quarter of a century. He was also involved in golf course design, and a golf shop called Auchterlonie's still stands in St Andrews.
