Tom Boyd (golfer)

Thomas Boyd (7 January 1888 – 29 November 1952) was an Irish-American professional golfer who played in the early-to-mid 20th century.

Little is known of his early life although like contemporaries from his era he likely first started as a caddie and progressed to a career as a professional golfer from there.

[3] Boyd was involved in a memorable match on October 6, 1918, at Fox Hills Golf Club when he was paired with Jerome Travers to win 1 up after an extra hole to break a tie.

[2] In an even more high-profile match held on July 23, 1920, at Fox Hills, Boyd and George Fotheringham went up against the very formidable pair of Harry Vardon, then the 6-time Open Championship winner, and his partner Ted Ray.
