Andrew Campbell (born) was a Scottish professional golfer who played in the early 20th century. Campbell had one top-10 finish in a golf major championship when he finished tied for seventh place in the 1909 U.S. Open. He also finished T43 in the 1914 U.S. Open.[1]
Campbell was born in Scotland, circa 1887. Like some many other golf professionals from Britain during this period in history, he emigrated to the United States to find a better life and pursue his career as a professional golfer. In 1908 he was serving as the head professional at The Springhaven Club in Wallingford, Pennsylvania.[2]
The 1909 U.S. Open was the 15th U.S. Open, held June 24–25 at Englewood Golf Club in Englewood, New Jersey, north of downtown New York City (Manhattan). George Sargent established a new tournament scoring record to win his only major title, four strokes ahead of runner-up Tom McNamara.
Campbell came out hot in the first round by posting a 71, the best score in that round by any player. His play in the final three rounds wasn't as stellar, however, and he ended up finishing in a five-way tie for seventh place with rounds of 71-75-77-77=300. Campbell's share of the prize money was $35.
Campbell's date of death is unknown.
Note: Campbell played only in the U.S. Open.
