Jack Burns (golfer)

Jack Burns (golfer)

Jack Burns, a native of St Andrews, was a Scottish golfer.

While employed as golf professional and greenkeeper at Warwick Golf Club in England, Burns won the 1888 Open Championship, which was held at the St Andrews Links that year. In those days a major championship title didn't make a man's fortune, and Burns later moved back to St Andrews to work on the railways.
