Thomas Lawrence McNamara, Sr. (November 18, 1882 – July 21, 1939) was an American professional golfer. ==Biography== McNamara was born in Brookline, Massachusetts to an immigrant Irish family.〔 His parents were Thomas McNamara (1841–1909) and Mariah McNamara ''née'' Curry (1851–1940). McNamara was the head professional at Wollaston Golf Club. During the 1909 U.S. Open, McNamara became the first man ever to break 70 in a competitive American tournament.〔 McNamara held a three-stroke lead in the 1909 U.S. Open heading to the back nine. Due to the extremely hot temperatures, McNamara suffered a heatstroke on the 14th hole. After doctors treated him, he insisted on finishing the tournament. He succeeded in finishing, but his game collapsed down the stretch and finished second.〔 The following year, 1910, he served as the head golf professional at the Fall River Country Club in Fall River, Massachusetts. McNamara was considered one of American's best homegrown professionals during the early twentieth century. He was head professional at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York. He proposed the idea of a national tournament to his boss, Rodman Wanamaker. McNamara was the manager of the golf department in Wanamaker's New York City department store. Thus came the PGA Championship, first played in 1916 at Siwanoy Country Club.〔(Memorable Moments in the PGA Championship )〕
