Vardon sails to America in January where he plays in more than 80 Exhibition matches including: Lawrence Harbour Country Club, New York; Scarsdale Golf Club, Sate of New York; Pittsburg Golf Club, PA; Dyker Meadow Golf Club, now Dyker Beach Golf Club, New York; and many others in New England, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Denver, Colorado, Toronto and Canada.

Vardon interupts the tour and returns to England for two weeks and plays in the British Open Championship at St Andrew’s and finishes 2nd behind J H Taylor.

Vardon wins the US Open Championship at Wheaton Golf Club, Ilinois. This makes him the first Englishman to win both the British and the US Open Championships.

He is paid $5,000 by A G Spalding to endorse their products whilst in the US. He also advertised muscle balm and heath tonics as well as golf coats.

 After travelling nearly 50,000 miles, he returns to England in December.
