"Ross was a Scottish-born professional golfer who achieved a T5 at the US Open and a T8 at The Open, but it was as a designer that he really made his name. He had an apprenticeship at Royal Dornoch, before heading to America, initially taking a role at Oakley Country Club in Massachusetts. He then became the golf professional at Pinehurst in 1900. That was the place where he found his true calling. And what a legacy he left there, with Pinehurst No.2 regarded by many as his masterpiece."
