1935 British Open Winner and Scores
The 1935 British Open was the 70th time this major was played, but the first of two consecutive years golfers named Alf won.
Winner: Alf Perry, 283
Where it was played: Muirfield links in Gullane, East Lothian, Scotland
Tournament dates: June 26-28, 1935
Leader after first round: Henry Cotton, 68
Leader after second round: Charles Whitcombe, 139
Leader after third round: Alf Perry, 211
Notable Notes: This was the first professional tournament won by Alf Perry, who went on to win only three more pro titles. ... After a third-round 67, Perry took a one-stroke lead into the final round. His final-round 72 was good enough, as most of his nearest challengers stumbled. ... The runner-up, Alf Padgham, won a year later at the 1936 British Open. ... Perry's 283 total tied the tournament scoring record of the time.
