1874 British Open Winner and Scores
Winner: Mungo Park, 159
Where it was played: Musselburgh Links in Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland
Tournament dates: April 10, 1874
Leader after first round: Mungo Park, 75
Notable Notes: Mungo Park held a four-stroke lead following the morning 18, then held on to beat Young Tom Morris by two strokes for the title. Morris had his chances late, but missed a short putt on the next-to-last hole, then drove through the green on the final hole and dropped two more strokes. ... Park was the second member of his family to win; his brother, Willie Park Sr., had three Open victories already and would add a fourth. Willie Park Jr. later won two titles himself. ... Young Tom Morris was only 22, but this was final Open. He withdrew the following year after the death of his wife, then died later in 1875.
