Davie Strath was a Scottish professional golfer. His best result was a trio of second place finishes in the 1870, 1873 and 1876 Open Championships. In 1876, he lost the playoff to fellow countryman Bob Martin.[1]
Tom Morris, Jr. toured Scotland and parts of England, both on his own and with fellow golfer Strath, playing exhibition matches on their own account, without official sanction—this was the first time this had been done.[2]
