Willie Brown was a Scottish professional golfer who played in the late 19th century. Brown tied for seventh place in the 1889 Open Championship. The 1889 Open Championship was the 29th Open Championship, held 8 November at the Musselburgh Links, Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland.[1]
Andrew Kirkaldy and Willie Park, Jr. were tied on 155 each after regulation play. They had a 36-hole playoff on 11 November, Park winning by five strokes from Kirkaldy.[2]
This was the sixth and last time the Open was played at Musselburgh. It was replaced by Muirfield as the venue for the 1892 Open Championship.
