Jack Fowler "Jock" Hutchison (June 6, 1884 – September 27, 1977) was a Scottish-American professional golfer.

Hutchison was born in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland but later moved to the United States and became a U.S. citizen in 1920. He won two major championships, the 1920 PGA Championship and the 1921 Open Championship at the St Andrews. His 1921 victory was the first by a U.S.-based player; the following year Walter Hagen became the first U.S.-born winner.

In 1937, Hutchison won the inaugural PGA Seniors' Championship at Augusta National Golf Club, and in 1947 he won that event for a second time.

Hutchison died at the age of 93 in Evanston, Illinois.

Hutchison was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2010 and was inducted in May 2011.[1]
