Tour Scotland Video Young Tom Morris Golfer Gravestone Cathedral Ruins Graveyard St Andrews

Tour Scotland video of the Young Tom Morris gravestone in the graveyard of the Cathedral in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Tom Morris, Jr., born 20th April 1851, died 25th December 1875, known as " Young Tom Morris ", was one of the pioneers of professional golf, and was the first young prodigy in golf history. He won four consecutive titles in the Open Championship, an unmatched feat, and did this by the age of 21. He was born in The Home of Golf, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, and died there on Christmas Day, 1875 at the young age of 24. His father, Old Tom Morris, was the greenkeeper and professional of the St Andrews Links, and himself won four of the first eight Open Championships. Young Tom's first Open Championship win, in 1868 aged 17, made him the youngest major champion in golf history, a record which still stands.
