1871: No competition


Perhaps taken aback by Young Tom's three consecutive wins and, hence, possession of the belt, there was no trophy to play for. The Prestwick club invited the R&A and the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers to contribute to a new "Golf Champion Trophy". This was the genesis of the Claret Jug but it was not even ready for the next year's competition.
