Last year he won the British Amateur at Prestwick, after the most one-sided final in the tournament's history when, against a frightened Troon carpenter named Wallace, he played 23 holes without losing one.

Simone Thion de la Chaume and then Mlle. Manette le Blan thereafter won the British Ladies' Title.
