George Daniel Brown (1836–1902) was an English professional golfer.

Eight professionals and six amateurs contested the event in wet and windy weather, with Willie Park, Sr. winning the championship for the second time, by two shots from Tom Morris, Sr. Brown carded rounds of 58-61-57=176 but did not win any prize money; only the top 4 finishers received a cash prize.

As in previous years, the contest was held over three rounds of the 12-hole links course.

For the first time there was prize money for those finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th, although the winner only received the Challenge Belt for the next year.

Davie Park, younger brother of Willie, led after the first round with a score of 55.
