Noted Golfer Crowns A Scotch Pro Found Dead
The body of Robert Dunlop, a noted Scotch professional golfer, was found in the lake at Van Cortlandt Park New York. He had been missing for weeks and his body lay in the water for about a week. About thirty seven, he came from Scotland last July to enter a championship match under the New York Golf Club. He stood fourth in that match and later played more until he was employed as an instructor at the New York Golf Club when he disappeared. It is believed he fell into the lake while walking across the park at night.
