The Open ChampionshipT3: 1897, 1907

John George Pulford (born 1873) was an English professional golfer. His skill on the links enabled him to place high on the leaderboard in several Open Championships. He finished tied for third in both the 1897 Open Championship and the 1907 Open Championship. He was fourth in the 1895 Open Championship and was tied for tenth place in the 1909 Open Championship.[1]

Early life

Pulford was born in Hoylake, Cheshire, England in 1873, the eldest child of George and Ann (nee Meadows).[2]

Golf career

1895 Open Championship

The 1895 Open Championship was the held 12–13 June at the Old Course at St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Defending champion J.H. Taylor won the Championship for the second time, by four strokes from runner-up Sandy Herd. Pulford played steady golf throughout the event and finished alone in fourth place.[1]

1897 Open Championship

The 1897 Open Championship was held 19–20 May at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England. Harold Hilton, an amateur, won the Championship for the second time, a stroke ahead of James Braid.[1] As an amateur Hilton received "£30 in plate" in addition to the "Championship Cup" and "Gold Medal".[3] The prize money for the professionals was reduced accordingly to £60. This arrangement had been introduced after the 1892 Open Championship which was also won by Hilton.[4]

Details of play

This was the second Open to be played in England after the 1894 event staged at Royal St George's. It was also the last Open Championship with no qualifying and no cut. 88 players entered including 20 amateurs. Royal Liverpool was the home club of many of the leading amateurs of the day including John Ball, Jr. and Hilton, both of whom had already won the Championship. The great masters of the game—Harry Vardon and J.H. Taylor—both played poorly in the tournament shooting scores of 84-80-80-76=320 and 82-80-82-86=330, respectively. Taylor's performance was especially dismal, as his final round 86 was 3 shots or more worse than all other players in the top 10. Pulford played impressively, and consistently, carding rounds of 80-79-79-79=317 and was rewarded for his excellent play with the handy sum of £10.

1907 Open Championship

The 1907 Open Championship was held 20–21 June at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake, England. Arnaud Massy, from France, won the Championship, two strokes ahead of runner-up J.H. Taylor.[1] Massy was the first non-Briton to win the Open Championship. Returning to the good form that he had exhibited in previous Open Championships in 1895 and 1897, Pulford once again claimed a lofty perch on the leaderboard finishing in a tie for third place.

Lemma di Gauss (polinomi)

Il lemma di Gauss, nella teoria dei polinomi, si riferisce a due affermazioni distinte: il prodotto di due polinomi primitivi è primitivo; se un polinomio è irriducibile in Z [ x ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [x]} , allora è irriducibile anche in Q [ x ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} [x]} ; cioè un polinomio a coefficienti interi che è irriducibile negli interi è anche irriducibile nei razionali. La seconda affermazione è una diretta conseguenza della prima, ed entrambe le affermazioni pos...
