Tommy Armour

Tommy Armour (1896–1968) was a Scottish-American professional golfer noted for winning three major championships: the 1927 U.S. Open, the 1930 PGA Championship, and the 1931 Open Championship. Known as "The Silver Scot," he played a significant role in golf during the early 20th century and popularized the term "yips," referring to a sudden loss of skill in athletes. Armour turned professional in 1924, won a total of 27 tournaments, and authored a best-selling golf instruction book. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1976 and is remembered for his contributions to the sport and the teaching of golf.
