Willie Park, Jr.
Willie Park, Jr. (4 February 1864 – 22 May 1925) was one of the top professional golfers of his era, winning The Open Championship twice.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1887 Willie Park Jr )〕 Park was also a successful golf equipment maker and golf writer. In his later years, Park built a significant career as one of the world's best golf course architects, with a world-wide business. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2013.
==Early years==
Park was born in Musselburgh, Scotland (near Edinburgh). His father, Willie Park, Sr., was one of Scotland's top golfers, and Park, Jr. learned golf from childhood. His father ran a successful golf equipment business, producing clubs and balls to order. Park, Sr. also played challenge matches for stakes, and competed in professional tournaments.
The Musselburgh Links course in the family's home town was one of the main centres of golf at the time, and was on the rota for The Open Championship from 1873 to 1891. In 1892 it was removed from the rota in favor of Muirfield, a new course which became the home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. Willie Park, Sr. won the first Open Championship in 1860, and won it again three more times. Mungo Park, younger brother of Park, Sr., also won the Open in 1874. The Park family had a deep and fierce golf rivalry, both in competition and in business, with the Morris family (led by Old Tom Morris and Young Tom Morris) of St. Andrews during most of the 19th century.
