Fred Robson (25 April 1885 – 1952)[1] was an English professional golfer who played in the early 20th century. Robson was a frequent competitor in the Open Championship. His best performance was a tie for second with Aubrey Boomer in the 1927 Open Championship.[2]

The 1927 Open Championship was the 62nd Open Championship, held 13–15 July at the Old Course at St Andrews in St Andrews, Scotland. Amateur Bobby Jones successfully defended the title with a dominating six stroke victory, the second of his three victories at the Open Championship.[2]

Robson also played on the three Great Britain Ryder Cup teams in 1927, 1929, and 1931.
