Early life

[edit]

In 1898, he won the fourthU.S. Open atMyopia Hunt Club, inSouth Hamilton, Massachusetts.^[2] This was the first U.S. Open to be played over 72 holes, requiring the competitors to play eight rounds of Myopia's nine-hole course. Herd turned in a card totaling 328, 84-85-75-84, averaging 82 strokes per 18-hole round.^[6] Two other brothers, Alex and Davy, played in the1898 U.S. Open, which Fred won, but they did not finish in the top 10.^[5] He won a $150 prize for winning the event — a large sum of money at the time — but such was his reputation as a drinker that he was not allowed to take the U.S. Open trophy away until he had paid a deposit, as theUSGA was worried that he might pawn it to buy alcohol.^[7]

Herd played in the U.S. Open on three other occasions, but did not have any other top-ten finishes.
