Biography
Brian J. Bamford (born 18 December 1935) is an English professional golfer. He is remembered for winning the Schweppes PGA Close Championship in 1961 and taking the first prize of £1,000. Because of the possibility of flooding at the Royal Mid-Surrey Golf Club, a composite course was used, including seven consecutive holes of the Ladies' course, measuring just 5,755 yards. Each competitor played one of their opening two rounds at Richmond Golf Club. Bamford's winning score of 266 (68-66-67-65) remains the lowest in the Championship's history. As a result of his win he was selected for the English Canada Cup team with Peter Alliss.
