Alfred "Red" Brosch (November 8, 1911 – December 10, 1975)[1] was an American professional golfer.
Brosch worked primarily as a club pro but also played on the PGA Tour, making 125 cuts between 1933 and 1962. He was the first player to shoot a round of 60 on the Tour, in the third round of the 1951 Texas Open.[1] He went on to finish fourth, shooting a final-round 70 (268), three strokes out of the E.J. Harrison-Doug Ford playoff. Three weeks later, Brosch turned in his top PGA Tour performance, a runner-up finish at the St. Petersburg Open. He fell by six strokes to winner Jim Ferrier.
As a club pro, he worked primarily in the New York City area, including Bethpage, Cherry Valley Club, and Sands Point Golf Club. He won the Long Island Open 10 times,[1] the Long Island PGA nine times,[2] and the Metropolitan PGA six times.
