Jack Burns won the Championship by a stroke from David Anderson Jr. and Ben Sayers.

Willie Campbell led after 18 holes for the third successive year and was the leader on 84 with Sayers on 85 and a group of four players on 86.

In the afternoon Sayers, in the first group, scored 87 and took an early lead on 172.

Campbell made a number of mistakes and scored 90 for a total of 174.

Burns's score for his first round had originally been added up to 87 but a Royal and Ancient Golf Club member noticed that it was added up incorrectly and the total was adjusted to 86, making Burns the champion.
