Fred Robson

Frederick Robson (25 April 1885 – 3 November 1952) was an English professional golfer who played in the early 20th century.

He apparently had a Scottish father and English mother and was initially selected for both sides.

[2][3] A meeting of the PGA on the following Monday accepted the principle that the player could choose in such situations.

[4] However this account is contradicted by the 1891 census of Wales which records that his father was born in Birmingham and mother in Holywell.

[6][7] Robson is best remembered for his numerous starts in the Open Championship, the best of which was a second-place finish in 1927.
