[1] Pulford was born in Hoylake, Cheshire, England in 1873, the eldest child of George and Ann (nee Meadows).

Harold Hilton, an amateur, won the Championship for the second time, a stroke ahead of James Braid.

Royal Liverpool was the home club of many of the leading amateurs of the day including John Ball, Jr. and Hilton, both of whom had already won the Championship.

The 1907 Open Championship was held 20–21 June at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England.

Returning to the good form that he had exhibited in previous Open Championships in 1895 and 1897, Pulford once again claimed a lofty perch on the leaderboard finishing in a tie for third place.
