Tommy Morris Jr.
At the age of sixteen in 1867 he finished fourth in the Open Championship. The following year at the age of seventeen years five months and eight days Young Tommy became the youngest ever winner of the Open. This was the first of three consecutive wins thereby taking the Open Champions Belt as his own. His third win in 1870 was by a twelve stroke margin and his total of 149 was a record for the Prestwick course never equalled so long as the Gutty ball was in use.

The 1871 Open Championship was cancelled but in the following year the Prestwick Golf Club
joined forces with the Royal and Ancient and The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers to subscribe to a new trophy,
the silver claret jug, to be played for in rotation over the Prestwick, St. Andrews and Musselburgh courses.
The winner in 1872 was again Young Tommy Morris giving him a fourth record consecutive win...
