Herd shot a final-round 84 to Auchterlonie's 82 and finished third. ... This was the first British Open played by J.H. Taylor, a future 5-time winner, and Harry Vardon, a future 6-time champion. ... Auchterlonie is part of a rare major championship brothers pair: Laurie Auchterlonie won the 1902 U.S. Open.
